About

Michael Astle

Lead developer with over 8 years building scalable, event-driven backend systems in C# and .NET Core. Currently leading cross-functional engineering work at Fluent Money — previously recognised with the Rising Star of the Year award in 2024.

I care about clean code, clear architecture, and practical solutions. Outside of professional work I build personal tools — like ClimbSessions — to sharpen skills and scratch my own itches.
