Robert McLaws

25 years of making .NET better through feedback, components, and frameworks.

I'm co-founder and CEO of CloudNimble, makers of EasyAF. I spent my career making it easy as f*ck to build applications on .NET. Now I'm making it easy as f*ck to build for Super Intelligence on .NET, too.

I'm a 5× Microsoft MVP, awarded for ASP.NET, Windows, and Visual Studio, and a member of the .NET Foundation.

What I've shipped

Upstream in .NET and OData

Project Receipt
System.Threading.Tasks I released the first cross-platform port of the TPL, which also supported Windows Phone and Xbox. Microsoft took over the package to ship .NET Core, and my AdvancedREI account is still listed as an owner. 4.08 billion downloads (nuget.org, Nov 12, 2026).
Restier EF model in, OData v4 API out. I co-lead the project, spearheaded convincing Microsoft to contribute it to the .NET Foundation, and shipped the 1.0 release. Since Microsoft's last code commit in Apr 2022: 43 commits and 6 merged pull requests, from .NET 8 support to the 1.2 RTM release (GitHub, Nov 12, 2026).
OData MCP Builds MCP tools for OData APIs, whether you own them or not. I wrote the ground-up rewrite for MCP 2.0 and server-side MCP (merged Sep 2026).

Built at CloudNimble

Project Receipt
EasyAF The Easy Application Framework that's easy as f*ck: data, REST APIs, Blazor UI, async events, and testing in one stack. Read the EasyAF docs. The full catalog lives on the CloudNimble org profile.
Breakdance A testing framework for managing the dangerous dance of shipping public APIs.
DotNetDocs Documentation that ships with your code, enhanced with Mintlify.
The long tail PortableRest, Zlib.Portable, SendGridPlus, TypeLitePlus, Base36: packages from the PCL years that still get pulled.

By the numbers, as of Nov 12, 2026:

What I work in

  • Language: C#
  • Frameworks: ASP.NET Core, Blazor, Entity Framework 6 and EF Core, OData and Restier
  • AI tooling: Model Context Protocol servers, Claude Code hooks
  • Platforms: .NET, Azure
  • Tooling: MSBuild SDKs, MSTest, Mintlify
What I've won
Award Receipt
2020 Atlanta Startup Battle Pitched BurnRate and won $100,000 in investment.
2019 Florida Excellence in Technology Emergency Status System team. Kept Florida hospitals connected through Hurricane Michael, then 100% uptime for the entire 2+ year COVID state of emergency.
PC Magazine Top 100 Web Sites, 2004 LonghornBlogs.com, a network of 50+ blogs covering Windows "Codename Longhorn".
CMP Media Top 10 Independent Tech Blogs, 2005 LonghornBlogs.com, finals against Groklaw and Slashdot.
