About Me

Hi, I’m Pieter Nijs, a Belgian developer, trainer, speaker, and author. Most of my work is in the Microsoft ecosystem, especially .NET, C#, .NET MAUI, and Azure. Lately, I’ve also been exploring how AI can make everyday software more useful and reliable.

I’ve worked on software for healthcare, telecom, media, and line-of-business applications. These days, I help design and integrate AI solutions, while continuing to build on the .NET tools I know best.

I teach .NET development at CVO Volt, where I create course materials and help students reach their learning goals. Outside the classroom, I write and speak about technology. I’m also a board member of VISUG, Belgium’s .NET user group, and part of the team behind Techorama.

When I’m not coding, tinkering, or breaking things to learn how they work, I’m usually sharing what I’ve learned with the developer community. I’ve been a Microsoft MVP since 2017.

I wrote The MVVM Pattern in .NET MAUI, a practical guide to applying the MVVM pattern when building cross-platform apps with .NET MAUI.

You can find me on Bluesky, GitHub, and LinkedIn. I’m always happy to share ideas, learn something new, and meet people who are curious about what we can build with software and AI.
