About me
My name is Frank Bakker. As an experienced hands-on Software Architect and Engineer, I have a proven track record in professional software development in the .Net ecosystem.
With a strong passion for C# and .Net, I design and build solutions that combines technical excellence with real business value. Through clear communication, analytical thinking, and a pragmatic approach, I effectively bridge the gap between technology and strategy.
Coaching and mentoring teams is another deep passion of mine—helping developers grow their skills, improve collaboration, and adopt practices that lead to higher quality software. Empowering teams to deliver their best work is a key part of my impact.
Known for my ability to comprehend and clarify complexity, I serve as a trusted advisor to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Besides my professional work, I am also a maintainer of the open source project NetDaemon. NetDaemon is a framework that allows developers to use C# and .Net to control their home automation in Home Assistant. We actively maintain this project on GitHub and support enthusiastic users in our Discord channel.
