Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShad Storhaug is a seasoned C#/.NET software engineer and open-source maintainer with over 19 years of experience delivering mission-critical systems and APIs, and 14 years of sustained professional practice. As a long-time committer, PMC member, and chairperson for Lucene.NET at the Apache Software Foundation, he led the large-scale port of the Java Lucene library to .NET and architected CI/CD pipelines to keep it production-ready. He combines deep backend expertise (high-volume RESTful APIs, .NET Core, MS SQL) with hands-on UX and e-commerce improvements that have driven measurable business results, such as a 40%+ lift in checkout conversions. Comfortable across the full lifecycle—requirements, design, build, test, release and maintenance—he excels at refactoring for long-term maintainability and mentoring teams. An active GitHub contributor, he has stabilized complex build systems (notably for the ikvm JVM-to-IL project) and often focuses on build/release and tooling improvements that quietly unlock larger engineering productivity gains. Based in Bangkok, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a passion for open source, music, gadgets and world travel.
