About IncaStack

Senior .NET development delivered directly by Craig Aldred

I am a Derbyshire-based senior .NET developer with more than ten years of commercial experience across C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, Azure, JavaScript and production systems.

Through IncaStack, I work on existing .NET applications, C# and SQL Server problems, integrations, contained feature delivery and senior contract capacity for UK businesses and agencies. I also take on selected bespoke web applications and website projects where they are a good fit.

IncaStack is founder-led: I scope and deliver the work myself, so you deal directly with the developer responsible for it.

How I work

Clear decisions from scope through handover

Direct communication

The person scoping the work is the person delivering it.

Clear boundaries

For fixed-scope work, scope, assumptions, dependencies and exclusions are agreed before implementation.

Practical engineering

I prefer the smallest reliable solution that fits the current system and commercial need.

Proper handover

For contained work, testing, deployment support and concise change notes are agreed as part of the scope.

Technical capability

Technology used in practical delivery

My strongest experience is around Microsoft-stack web applications and production systems, particularly C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server and Azure.
