Duracell1989/README.md

Ben de Bruijn

C#/.NET developer based in the Netherlands. Senior Software Engineer at @EnergyEssentials by day; @Dura-IT is my own brand for developer tools and libraries.

Here on GitHub

  • RomForge — cross-platform ROM management tool for the OfflineList DAT ecosystem. C# / .NET 10 / Avalonia. macOS, Windows, Linux.
  • Brewinator — CLI that fetches and archives release notes for outdated Homebrew packages, so you never install an update blind. Swift. brew install duracell1989/tap/brewinator.

My default host is Codeberg

Personal projects go to codeberg.org/Duracell1989 by default — privacy-first, EU-hosted, no tracking, no Copilot training. KeyPressMeter, LifeEvents and more live there. The repos here on GitHub are the exceptions: RomForge for its release pipeline, Brewinator for its Homebrew tap.

Elsewhere

  • @Dura-IT — my brand for shipping developer tools and libraries (SevenZipSharper, with Questmark coming to mobile).

Background

Professional C#/.NET developer since 2011. I started on internal line-of-business systems — C#/VB.NET, WinForms, Entity Framework, SQL Server — and moved with them into ASP.NET Core microservices. From 2016 onward the work shifted toward the pipeline itself, and for two and a half years I worked as a DevOps engineer: build and release pipelines, containers, and private-cloud platform work for other development teams. These days I do both, with software quality and the build/deploy process as the parts I care about most.

That work is closed-source, so none of it shows up here — the repositories on this profile are personal projects, in a deliberately different corner of the ecosystem.

Certified in Programming in C# (70-483) and Querying Microsoft SQL Server (70-461); HBO Informatica, 2011.
