PostSynaptic is a technical build log. Real projects, real repos, real post-mortems. No tutorials stripped of context. No “how to build a todo app.” The actual systems I build, the decisions behind them, and what broke along the way.
Who builds this
I’m Michael Kent. I work in production with C#/.NET, PowerShell, Azure, and a growing stack of AI tooling — MCP servers, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, vLLM. I build things that ship, and I write about what happens when they do.
I also run ContextWindow, where I cover the strategy and career side of AI product management. PostSynaptic is the other half — the code.
What this channel covers
- C#/.NET & PowerShell: Production systems, automation, tooling
- Azure & cloud: Azure AI Search, Azure OpenAI, infrastructure
- AI engineering: MCP servers, RAG, agents, evals, vLLM
- DevOps: CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, home lab
- Automation: n8n, WPF/UIA3, scripting, workflow orchestration
The format
Every post has a repo. Every video walks through the build. I show the code, explain the tradeoffs, and talk about what broke. If something didn’t work the first time, I say so. The goal is signal, not polish.
The name
A synapse fires after the signal crosses the gap. PostSynaptic is what happens after the impulse — the output, the action, the thing that actually runs. Ideas are cheap. Shipped code is the signal.
