He was also a member of the .NET Foundation sponsorship committee, and a contributor to .NET Interactive Notebooks, contributing the initial implementation of cross-kernel eventing.
He is also a core maintainer of several endjin open source projects: Corvus, Menes, Marain, and AIS.NET.
He has also been an active blogger, delving into the nuances of C# and .NET:
