Growth doesn't happen by accident
Community taught me that learning spreads when you make it visible. I'm trying to bring that same mindset inside the company: growth needs intention, not luck.
Hello, my name is
Lindsey Broos
I’m a .NET developer, Competence Center Lead, and speaker who cares about building software that lasts and about the people who build it.
In this blog, I write about what I learn along the way, from architecture to coding practices, teaching, community building and personal growth.
Building Software
As a .NET consultant at Talent-IT, I help teams build maintainable systems that scale. I focus on clean code, best practices, and turning business needs into solid technical solutions.
Learning by Teaching
I believe teaching is the best way to learn. As a Microsoft MVP and Pluralsight author, I share my experiences on real-world development and long-term thinking through my courses and conference talks.
People & Community
Software is not built in isolation. I help shape developer events as part of the content crew of Techorama and Azure Dev Summit, and I run VISUG, where developers learn from each other and grow together.
