Marcus Okonkwo

Marcus came into .NET via a winding path: six years writing Android in Kotlin at a London ad-tech firm, two years on a React Native team at a payments company, then a switch to .NET MAUI in 2022 when his current employer (a property-management SaaS in Manchester) consolidated their mobile stack onto C#. He now leads a team of five mobile engineers and owns the MAUI app end to end. He tends to write the comparison pieces other people avoid: MAUI versus Flutter on real hardware, Shell navigation versus a hand-rolled stack, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm versus ReactiveUI for new projects, and what actually breaks when you move from MAUI 8 to 9. He has the .NET MAUI MVP designation as of 2025 and contributes intermittently to the CommunityToolkit.Maui repo.
