.NET
Microsoft's platform for building web applications, APIs and background services, with C# as the main language.
Skills are tools
Their real value lies in when and how you use them
Tools and skills are essential, but their value lies in how they are applied. Experience builds judgement about when to use a particular approach, when to simplify, and when a tool will add more complexity than benefit. This helps ensure skills are applied to the problem, not for their own sake
AI governance and regulation
Making AI use visible and accountable without slowing delivery, and understanding where regulation such as the EU AI Act applies.
API
