Desktop Applications
Overview

Desktop applications remain a powerful choice for businesses that need performance, security, and reliability. I design, build, and modernize desktop software that helps organizations streamline operations, serve external users, and stay secure.

Whether you need a new application, a modernization of an older system, or a cross-platform solution, I provide the expertise to make it happen.



Desktop for .NET

Benefits of Desktop Applications
  • Performance: Handle large datasets and intensive tasks with ease.
  • Offline Capability: Applications work without a constant internet connection.
  • Control: Run critical software entirely in-house, with no dependency on browsers or external servers.
  • Richer UI: Desktop apps provide advanced interfaces and productivity features.
When a Desktop App Makes Sense
  • Requires high-performance computing or large-scale data handling.
  • Needs offline reliability where constant internet isn’t possible.
  • Values maximum security and control over your infrastructure.
  • Already uses desktop workflows that can be enhanced or modernized.
Business Cases
  • Automating internal processes to save time and reduce errors.
  • Offering powerful client-facing software to expand your services.
  • Retaining control over sensitive data by avoiding cloud lock-in.
  • Extending the life of existing desktop systems through modernization.


Development Options
Security in Desktop Applications

Security is critical — especially for desktop applications that interact with sensitive data or serve external end-users. With extensive experience in application security, I design and implement safeguards to keep your business and your users protected.

  • Authentication & Authorization: Role-based access and identity integration.
  • Data Protection: Secure local storage and encrypted communication channels.
  • Anti-Tampering: Techniques to prevent reverse-engineering, packet-sniffing, debugging and/or dependency injection.
  • Compliance Support: Implementing controls to align with industry standards and regulations.
Avalonia

Avalonia is a cross-platform framework inspired by WPF. It allows businesses to deploy one application across Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase. This is the best choice for companies with diverse teams or client bases that require multi-OS support.

  • True cross-platform deployment — one codebase, all major operating systems.
  • Modern architecture with support for MVVM patterns.
  • Ideal for startups or businesses serving a wide user base.
WinForms (Windows Forms)

WinForms is one of the most widely used desktop frameworks for Windows applications. Many businesses still rely on it for mission-critical tools. I provide support for both maintaining existing WinForms applications and extending them with new functionality.

  • Perfect for maintaining and stabilizing long-running business software.
  • Fast to develop, with straightforward UI components.
  • Ideal for businesses that need continuity without full rewrites.
WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)

WPF is a modern Windows-first framework, designed for creating powerful applications with rich interfaces. It’s a strong option for businesses that need advanced visuals, complex data handling, or high-performance Windows desktop solutions.

  • Supports advanced, dynamic, and visually appealing UIs.
  • Excellent for data-heavy applications with charts, dashboards, or reports.
  • Strong binding system makes large, complex apps easier to maintain.


From Windows legacy support to modern cross-platform deployments, I’ll help you deliver desktop applications that are fast, secure, and built for business success.
