Hi, I'm Stuart, helping .NET developers learn to build AI in Melbourne

Hi, I'm Stuart Dobson. I'm a .NET and Azure AI consultant at Arinco in Melbourne, and I've worked in .NET and Azure for more than 20 years. I started coding around age 14 with a Breakout clone.

Alongside consulting, I write and speak for .NET and Azure developers who want to move into AI. My free publication, Learn to Build AI (learntobuildai.substack.com), covers agents, MCP, A2A and Foundry in C#, with runnable code. The core idea is to start small: build one agent in C# that calls one tool, then grow it from there.

I'm currently working on several AI applications, including a Code Review tool, a Homework generator, a Job Application preparation tool, and a video footage splicer.

I'm always keen to hear from founders who need technical assistance with interesting AI projects. Check out my website (stuartdobson.net) for more information.
