About Me

I'm Brandon Minnick, a Microsoft MVP, independent .NET consultant, and developer advocate. I run Code Traveler LLC from the San Francisco Bay Area, and I work with engineering teams around the world.

What I do

.NET consulting
Architecture reviews, code reviews, async and performance audits, and hands-on development for .NET MAUI, ASP.NET Core, and Blazor apps. $200 per hour, or a fixed price for a defined project.

DevRel consulting
A 90-day engagement that builds your developer relations program from the ground up: content, docs and SDK audits, attribution that ties content to signups, and community. Then I help you hire the advocate who runs it and train them on the process. Starting at $10,000 / month.

Workshops
A hands-on workshop for C# teams, delivered on site or remote. Taught at NDC London and NDC Oslo in 2026. Starting at $9,500.

Courses and video
Video courses and technical video series for your product or your team. Five Dometrain courses and a nine-episode series for Cognee so far. Starting at $4,000 per video.

Why "Code Traveler"

I started this site in 2018 to share the code I was working on and the places the work took me. The name still fits. I still travel to teach and speak, and I still write here about what I learn along the way. The blog covers .NET MAUI, ASP.NET Core, async/await, and whatever else I'm building.
