Microservices and the Broadcaster Pattern

I’ve been working on decoupling a large monolithic API and separating its core concerns from processes that can be done asynchronously offline to make it more performant.

Simple Rich Text Solution for Angular

I thought I was starting down a rabbit hole last night when I decided to add rich text to this website. The desire to have images, headings, links, and videos embedded in my articles proved too much to contain. But I did not want to make it complicated technically or introduce any third-party libraries to do the trick. This seemed doable with Angular.

Manipulating Images with .NET

In building this website, I realized I needed to automate some of the image manipulation I perform on my travel photographs to get them published faster. This includes creating thumbnail pictures of different sizes to help web pages load faster and to add watermarks to the images if needed.
