My Projects
My most popular projects include:

Clean Architecture - a solution template for building .NET Core applications
ApiEndpoints - a better way to organize API endpoints in ASP.NET Core
GuardClauses - a Nuget package with extensible guard clauses to help clean up your codebase
SmartEnum - A base class that lets you replace enums with rich classes that retain enum-like behavior
Specification - A robust implementation of the specification design pattern from DDD
Result - A Result type for use in services that can easily be mapped to IActionResult/ActionResult in web APIs

Why Sponsor
Sponsoring is something I'm experimenting with. My expectation is that having sponsors will provide me with more incentive to work on my open source projects that you find helpful. Without sponsorship, my priorities may lead more toward working on billable work at the expense of open source projects. I expect I'll care more about having 50 people supporting me at $5/mo than one company at $250/mo, because what motivates me most is helping large numbers of developers be more successful.
