HttpClient keeps getting 429s: why retries amplify rate limiting in .NET
When retries multiply 429 errors instead of fixing them: how retry amplification happens, how to prove it, and how to honor Retry-After with budgets.
Polly retries making outages worse: stop retry storms with backoff and jitter
When retries amplify failures instead of fixing them: how retry storms happen in .NET, how to prove it, and the four components that stop cascading failures.

Cannot trace requests across services: why correlation IDs die at boundaries in .NET
A production playbook for when logs exist but cannot be joined—correlation IDs die at HttpClient boundaries, jobs, and queues, making incidents unreproducible.

Retries making outages worse: when resilience policies multiply failures in .NET
Retry storms don't look like a bug—they look like good engineering until retries amplify failures and multiply in-flight requests during backpressure.

Requests timing out but CPU normal: thread pool starvation in ASP.NET
When requests time out but CPU is low and restarting fixes it temporarily: how thread pool starvation happens, how to prove queueing, and the smallest fixes that stop repeat incidents.

I help teams keep automation and .NET systems stable in production: stop duplicate side effects, fix retry storms, make failures observable, and ship guardrails fast. If you’re dealing with 429s, timeouts, runaway jobs, or “it fails but the logs don’t say why”, I’ll help you stabilize first and then harden so it stays fixed.
