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, a weekly newsletter, 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.
