I tend to create many projects. Some of them are just experiments; others turn out to be useful to someone, and I do my best to maintain them. Here's a selection of the projects I felt were worth mentioning:

• FakeItEasy: one of the most popular mocking libraries for .NET. Its simple concepts and fluent syntax make it very easy to use. I joined the core team in 2016.
• DontMergeMeYet: a GitHub application that prevents you from accidentally merging a pull request before it's ready.
• Extensions.Hosting.AsyncInitialization: a library to help with async app initialization in .NET Core generic host (.NET Core 2.1+ and ASP.NET Core 3).
• Hamlet: a simple Option type for .NET with Linq support.
• WeakEvent: a generic weak event implementation.
• Linq.Extras: a collection of extension methods to complement the ones from System.Linq.Enumerable.
• NString: a collection of utilities for working with strings in .NET.
• NHotkey: a managed library to handle global hotkeys in Windows Forms and WPF applications.
• EssentialMVVM: a minimalist MVVM Framework.
• HumanBytes: a library to convert byte sizes to a human readable form.
• Iso8601DurationHelper: A small library to handle ISO8601 durations in C#.
• CosmosDB Studio: a tool to browse and query Azure CosmosDB databases (in progress)
• WpfAnimatedGif: a library to display animated GIFs in WPF
• XamlAnimatedGif: a library to display animated GIFs in XAML (UWP, WPF, Windows Phone, and even Silverlight!)
• I also contribute frequently to various projects in .NET land: .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, Identity Server...
