Hey, I'm Calvin! I'm a .NET developer and architect at Centric Consulting, where I design agentic systems. I'm also a husband, father, and woodworker when I step away from the keyboard.
I've spent years building free, open-source tools for the developer community. Here's what I've created:
Desktop Apps
- VS Toolbox – A system tray app to manage all your Visual Studio installations from one place
SDKs & Libraries
- VsixSdk – MSBuild SDK for building Visual Studio extensions with modern SDK-style projects
- Otel4Vsix – Add OpenTelemetry tracing, metrics, and logging to your VS extensions
Visual Studio Extensions
- Project Renamifier – Safely rename projects, folders, namespaces, and all references in one operation
- Super Clean – Recursively delete bin & obj folders for a project or entire solution
- Open Bin Folder – Open a project's output directory in File Explorer
- Breakpoint Notifier – Get alerted when a breakpoint hits while you're multitasking
- Git Ranger – GitLens-style Git management with theme-adaptive colors
- Open in Notepad++ – Open any file, project, or solution in Notepad++
- Couchbase Explorer – Couchbase & Capella data management and queries inside VS
GitHub Actions
- VS Marketplace Publisher – Publish extensions to the Visual Studio Marketplace
- JB Marketplace Publisher – Publish extensions to the JetBrains Marketplace
- VSIX Versioner – Automatically version your VSIX packages
Visual Studio for Mac Extensions (VS for Mac has been discontinued, but these may still be useful if you're using it)
- Open Bin Folder – Open a project's bin folder in Finder
- Super Clean – Obliterate bin & obj folders across your solution
I share everything I learn on my blog at codingwithcalvin.net, covering .NET, C#, Visual Studio extensibility, MSBuild, Docker, and developer tooling.
If my tools or writing have saved you time or headaches, your support helps me keep building and sharing. Thanks!
