George Rios

Head Chef & .NET Architect

With 25+ years of enterprise C# architecture under my belt, I've seen it all — from .NET Framework 1.0 to the modern .NET 10 ecosystem. I specialize in cloud-agnostic solutions, clean architecture, and building tools that make developers' lives better.

The Noundry Platform

Noundry is a modern C# development framework built for developers who value simplicity and craftsmanship. It's a clean break from legacy patterns — no Node.js dependency, no bloated abstractions, just elegant C# all the way down.

Tuxedo ORM

Lightweight, attribute-based ORM with automatic migrations via Bowtie

Guardian

Fluent input validation with Guard.Against patterns

Tailbreeze

Build-time Tailwind CSS compilation without Node.js

Sanquhar

Simple, reliable email sending for .NET applications

What is DotNetRecipes.com?

DotNetRecipes.com is where battle-tested .NET patterns meet a cooking metaphor. Each recipe follows a structured format that mirrors real kitchen workflows:

  1. 1 The Problem — What pain point are we solving?
  2. 2 Ingredients — NuGet packages and tools you'll need
  3. 3 Preparation — Setup and configuration steps
  4. 4 The Code — Production-ready code with explanations
  5. 5 Plating — Summary, best practices, and next steps
