Hi, I'm Julio Casal. I help .NET teams ship faster with confidence.
For 11 years at Microsoft, I contributed to C#/.NET cloud services across Xbox (Cloud Gaming, PlayFab) and Azure (Azure DevOps, Azure Container Registry, Power Apps, Azure Portal), high-scale systems that serve millions of requests each month.
I now run .NET Academy full-time, where I teach modern .NET and Azure through flagship, hands-on courses, YouTube tutorials, blog articles, and production-grade starter templates.
My focus areas: CI/CD, cloud-native architecture, Developer Productivity (DevEx), and proven .NET/Azure practices that scale from local dev to production.
When I'm not building or teaching, I'm with my wife and three kids around Washington State: board games, movie nights, and chasing great views.
