My name is Dody Gunawinata. You probably know me from the rather popularPractical ASP.NET Core project.

I come froma small remote island North of Indonesia. I am currently based in Cairo, Egypt. This is the seventh country I have worked and lived in. I was trained atQUT, Australia in Software Network Engineering back in 1995.

I am a co-founder ofSilverKey Technologies, a software consultancy that works a lot in building software in development sector (IOM, ILO, GIZ, USAID, Egyptian Government, etc).

On my spare time I run a small desert travel outfit calledSiwawi. We take people exploring the wonderful and historic Siwa Oasis and the Sahara desert.

You can find me on BlueSky athttps://dodyg.bsky.social.

I wrote the first open source Android app written in Kotlin calledAndroid Rivers. I think it was around version Kotlin .5. You can see in thecontributions from JetBrains Kotlin team to the project. I was a really active member of Kotlin community although eventually I lost interest in developing for Android and I couldn't use Kotlin for my day to day work at that time.

9 years ago I started writingsamples for ASP.NET Core while I was studying for the framework. It got really popular to my surprise. I still continue to write samples because I found it as an effective learning tool for me and I am glad that many others benefit from them as well.

I am a big admirer ofDave Winer for his work in RSS, Blogging and Podcasting. It's amazing what a single person can contribute to the Internet culture.

My hobbies are:

• Afro dance
• Raising cats
• Starting projects and not completing them
• Cooking for 40 people
• Baking
• Siwa Oasis spleunkin
• Listening through "History of Philosophy without Gaps"
• Reading through Frantz Fanon's books
• Diving (still atPADI Advanced Open Water Diver)
• Writing terrible novels
