Hi, I'm James.
I build cross-platform mobile and .NET applications for companies that care about
software quality. I'm the founder of Barker Consulting, LLC.
About
I've been writing software professionally for 18 years, with a deep focus on the
Microsoft stack — C#, .NET MAUI, ASP.NET Core, and the wider Azure ecosystem. My specialty
is mobile applications that work reliably in the messy real world: offline-first, sync-aware,
and performance-conscious.
I went independent in late 2020 and formally incorporated as
Barker Consulting, LLC in April 2023.
What I'm working on
I'm currently engaged with enterprise clients building production mobile software for their
field operations. On the side, I'm exploring how LLM tooling and agentic workflows can be
integrated cleanly into traditional .NET applications — bringing modern AI capabilities
to teams that already live in the Microsoft ecosystem.
