Bio

Aneesh is a Principal Software Engineer based in the New York City area. As a Microsoft MVP in Developer Technologies and a Fellow of the British Computer Society (BCS), he focuses on building scalable applications while exploring how different tech stacks can be "cocktailed" together. He has spent years navigating the evolving landscape of .NET, always looking for ways to make complex systems more approachable for the people who actually use them.

For over four years, Aneesh has been a deeply active contributor to the .NET Foundation (DNF). His involvement goes well beyond code; he has served as a dedicated member of several DNF committees and has played a hands-on role in shaping the foundation’s digital presence. He was responsible for building dnfsummit.org and architecting the membership intake/approval portal for the .NET Foundation, projects aimed at making the community more connected and accessible for its global members.

Beyond his work with the foundation, he is the organizer for the .NET User Group in New York City, where he hosts prominent figures from the .NET ecosystem for deep-dive sessions. He frequently shares his insights as a speaker at conferences and is a prolific writer, contributing articles on .NET and beyond to help others stay current. His background in education and mentoring continues to drive his passion for simplifying technical theory into practical knowledge.

In the broader open-source world, he is the author of the library ng2-pdfjs-viewer. He also runs the Startup+ community, a space he founded to help entrepreneurs and developers collaborate and bring new ideas to life. Whether he is building tools for the community or mentoring the next generation of engineers, Aneesh remains committed to fostering a more collaborative and innovative technical landscape.
