Simplifying cloud native development with .NET Aspire

I'm an Architect on the .NET team responsible for the design and implementation our server and cloud technology.

I work on the design of .NET Core and ASP.NET Core, our new cross platform developer framework for building web applications and microservice applications.I also work on the Azure SignalR Service, a scalable service for running real time web/mobile/iot applications in the cloud.

I was one of the architects on next generation web framework on the .NET platform (originally DNX now ASP.NET Core). This extremely large effort consisted of re-designing experiences from the ground up for cross platform. This meant re-shaping the developer and deployment experience for web applications and services.
