Our Story
Dedicated to saving developers from repetitive code.
Our Mission
At PostSharp Technologies, we build software tools that enable C# developers to write concise, clean, and maintainable code through code generation and analysis. We are a small team of passionate developers, with all core members coding from childhood and holding degrees in computer science or engineering.
Our company's ethos is deeply rooted in engineering principles. We, as engineers, prioritize safety and scalability in our designs, understanding that our frameworks often serve large teams tasked with long-term product maintenance. Beyond the realm of engineering, we've embraced concepts from both the academic world, including aspect-oriented programming and static analysis. These ideas have been skillfully reimagined for modern C# and .NET.
Our unique approach has helped numerous solo developers and large organizations alike overcome the challenges of code maintenance and scalability. For example, we have been proud to partner for more than a decade with one of the most prominent healthcare imaging device vendors. Thanks to PostSharp, they could avoid writing a six-digit number of lines of code, resulting in significant cost savings and a shorter time to market.
PostSharp Technologies was founded in 2005 by Gael Fraiteur after he experienced the boredom of writing boilerplate code in a telecom company. As a privately owned company with sole ownership, we do not rely on venture capital or loans. Instead, we entirely rely on the revenue generated from the sale of licenses, providing us with financial stability and independence from short-term investor objectives. This approach makes us a dependable partner for large and long-term projects, allowing our customers to focus on their core business objectives with peace of mind.
Origins of PostSharp Technologies
PostSharp Technologies was established in 2004 by Gael Fraiteur, following his experience with the monotony of writing boilerplate code in a telecom company.
Gael Fraiteur, Founder & CEO
With a passion for programming that began in childhood and led to the development of his first commercial application at age 13, Gael's vision to build aspect-oriented software providing .NET developers with the same productivity benefits enjoyed by the Java community became a reality in 2008 with the release of the first version of PostSharp. Since then, PostSharp Technologies has grown steadily to become a leading provider of meta-programming tools in .NET.
