Backend Developer  ·  .NET & Python  ·  8+ Years Experience

Welcome to Code With Adnan Shaukat — a daily blog about backend development, REST APIs, and real software engineering lessons from 5+ years of professional experience.

Who am I?

I am a backend developer based in Pakistan with over 8 years of hands-on experience building server-side applications, REST APIs, and enterprise software systems. My core stack is .NET Core, .NET Framework, C#, and Python.

I have worked on real-world projects ranging from enterprise business applications to lightweight microservices and API integrations. I enjoy solving hard backend problems — the kind that take hours to debug and 5 minutes to explain once you understand them.

My tech stack

.NET Core .NET Framework C# Python REST APIs ASP.NET Core Entity Framework SQL Server FastAPI Docker Git Microservices

Why I started this blog

After 5+ years of professional backend development, I noticed a pattern — most of what I learned did not come from documentation. It came from debugging production issues at midnight, fixing legacy .NET codebases, and figuring out why an API was returning a 500 error with no useful message.

This blog is where I document those real experiences. Every post is written from actual practice, not theory. My goal is simple — if something took me hours to figure out, I want it to take you 5 minutes.

What you will find here

  • Practical .NET Core and C# tutorials from real projects
  • Python backend development — APIs, automation, and scripting
  • REST API design patterns and best practices
  • AI and Agentic AI for backend developers
  • Database design, SQL, and Entity Framework guides
  • Real debugging stories and how I solved them
  • Career tips for backend developers

Who this blog is for

Whether you are a junior developer learning how .NET APIs actually work, or an experienced engineer looking for practical .NET and Python tips — this blog is written for you. No fluff, no filler. Just real backend content from someone who writes production code every day.

CQRS Pattern in .NET 10 with MediatR — Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial

CQRS MediatR .NET 10 CQRS Pattern in .NET 10 with MediatR — Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial Learn how to implement CQRS with MediatR 14 in ASP.NET Core 10 — from first principles to a complete Order Management API with pipeline behaviours, validation, logging, transactions, and notifications. AS Adnan Shaukat June 17, 2026  ·  15 min read  ·  Senior .NET Backend Developer If you have worked on a .NET project for more than a few months, you have probably hit the point where your service classes become bloated — hundreds of methods, every feature touching the same model, reads and writes fighting each other for the same code paths. CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) solves this by doing one simple thing: separating reads from writes . Commands change state. Queries return data. Never the same model for both. Combined with MediatR — the library t...

EF Core 10 Performance Tips — 12 Ways to Make Your Queries Blazing Fast

These 12 real-world performance tips — with working C# code — will cut your query times, reduce memory usage, and make your database layer production-ready. AS Adnan Shaukat May 19, 2026  ·  14 min read  ·  Backend Developer Entity Framework Core is one of the most popular ORMs in the .NET ecosystem — and one of the most misused. I have reviewed dozens of ASP.NET Core backends where EF Core was the biggest performance bottleneck, not the application logic. Controllers loading thousands of tracked entities just to read them. N+1 query problems silently making 500 database calls per request. Bulk updates done row by row in a loop. EF Core 10, running exclusively on the .NET 10 runtime,...
