A note from our founder

I have been building on this stack since the Classic ASP days

I have been doing ASP.NET work for more than twenty years, going back to the Classic ASP and VBScript days. I have shipped on every major version of the framework since: WebForms, MVC, Web API, Silverlight, ASP.NET Core, and Blazor. The first three startups I founded and sold all ran on the .NET stack. I owe much of my career to ASP.NET, and I still write Blazor today for an internal Full Scale application.

Full Scale is an ASP.NET development company built around senior Filipino developers and the Product Driven framework. More than half of our business is ASP.NET development work, building dedicated teams for clients who run on the Microsoft stack, including AMC Theatres. What makes us unusual is that our leadership team has spent careers doing the work our teams do every day. I still think ASP.NET is one of the best stacks you can pick.

AI-powered ASP.NET engineers, trained on Product Driven principles

Most ASP.NET teams adopting AI are shipping more code without shipping better software. The slop volume climbs, production bugs follow, and engineers whose only skill is typing faster end up costing more in cleanup than they save in keystrokes.

Full Scale ASP.NET developers are trained on something different: the Product Driven approach from Matt's book, combined with the full modern AI toolkit (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor). They think first, type second, and use AI for the parts where judgment doesn't add value. That combination is rare, and it is what ASP.NET teams should actually be hiring for in 2026.

Pillar 1

Product Driven engineering

Our engineers are trained on the five pillars from Matt's book: Vision, Focus, Clarity, Ownership, and Courage. The result is ASP.NET developers who push back on bad product decisions, ask whether a ticket should exist before writing it, and own the outcome of what ships. They are not order takers.

Read Product Driven, the book
Pillar 2

AI as a thinking partner

Every ASP.NET engineer on our bench works with GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Cursor every day. They use AI to explore options, scaffold the boring parts, generate test suites against WebApplicationFactory, and review their own pull requests before a human ever sees them. Judgment stays with the engineer, the grunt work moves to the machine.

I owe much of my career to ASP.NET, and I still think it's one of the best stacks you can build a company on. The engineers I want on my team know the framework cold, they know where the request pipeline goes wrong, and they use AI for the parts where judgment doesn't matter. That is who we hire and train at Full Scale.

Trusted operator

Full Scale has made the Inc. 5000 five years in a row and is Great Place to Work certified. We have been doing this since 2018, and pricing isn't the only reason clients stay with our ASP.NET development company, it's the easiest reason to call.

Why the Philippines

The reason offshore ASP.NET works here

You can also hire dedicated developers in the Philippines across every other stack we staff, with the same vetting bar, retention numbers, and engagement model that ASP.NET clients get.

English-fluent by default

The Philippines is the third-largest English-speaking country in the world. Standups, code reviews, and customer calls work the way they do with any US team member.

Real time-zone overlap

Most of our ASP.NET engineers shift their hours toward the US business day, giving 3-4 hours of real-time overlap with East and West Coast teams, so decisions happen live during shared hours rather than crawling through 24-hour async handoffs.

Deep engineering talent pool

Cebu and Manila produce tens of thousands of CS and IT graduates a year. The country has been the Microsoft stack's offshore home for two decades.

Cultural alignment with US teams

Filipino engineers grow up on US business norms, US TV, and US tech culture, so agile rituals, direct feedback, and collaborative workflows feel familiar from day one. These teams integrate fast rather than needing constant management.

Why most offshore ASP.NET teams fail

Wiring up controllers is not the same as knowing ASP.NET

Anyone who passed a Microsoft certification can scaffold an ASP.NET Core project. Building a web application that holds up under production traffic requires a different bench entirely. When you outsource ASP.NET development or hire offshore ASP.NET developers, this is the gap that decides whether the project ships. Here is what we test for, and what most offshore staffing companies skip.

Pipeline knowledge, not just controllers

Junior developers wire up controllers. Senior ASP.NET engineers reason about the middleware pipeline, dependency injection scopes, model binding, filters, and when minimal APIs beat MVC. Architecture decisions made early in the pipeline define what the application can do later.

EF Core that doesn't melt your database

We test for the N+1 query problem in MVC controllers, change tracking gotchas in long-lived scopes, and when to drop into Dapper or raw SQL. Bad EF code is the single most common cause of ASP.NET performance issues we see in production.

Hosting beyond "deploy to App Service"

Real ASP.NET Core hosting expertise covers Kestrel tuning, reverse proxy headers, IIS in-process vs out-of-process, AKS, containers, and Azure Container Apps. The bench is stocked with engineers who can read a 502 in production logs and know exactly where to look.

Framework-to-Core migration without the breakage

Moving ASP.NET MVC 5 or Web API 2 to ASP.NET Core is more than a project file edit. System.Web is gone, OWIN cleanup is real, and authentication middleware is rewritten. We have done full migrations for production systems with millions of users.

Identity and security done right

Real security work covers ASP.NET Core Identity, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows, JWT validation, role and policy-based authorization, antiforgery, OWASP basics, and secrets management. It isn't a checklist exercise, and we test for engineers who understand the actual attack surface of a production ASP.NET application.

Production debugging skills

A senior ASP.NET engineer should be able to read a memory dump from a crashed Kestrel process, trace a request through ILogger and Application Insights, and diagnose thread pool starvation. Most offshore developers have never touched these tools.

ASP.NET development services we deliver

Hire dedicated ASP.NET developers for the work that actually matters

Most ASP.NET hiring conversations skip past the actual project. What kind of ASP.NET work do you need done? Greenfield ASP.NET Core development, an MVC-to-Core migration, a Blazor build, a SignalR integration, an auth overhaul, a performance fix that's been open for six months? As an ASP.NET development company that bills for engineering hours rather than fixed-bid projects, our developers ship across all of it. Here are the ASP.NET development services we get hired for most often.

Custom ASP.NET Core application development

ASP.NET Core development means greenfield builds on .NET 8 or .NET 10 using Clean Architecture, minimal APIs, MediatR, EF Core, and FluentValidation. We start with a real domain model rather than a CRUD scaffold, so the resulting codebase survives the first 18 months without a rewrite.

Hire dedicated .NET developers

ASP.NET MVC and Web API development

MVC controllers, REST APIs with OpenAPI contracts, versioned endpoints, model binding done right, and integration tests against WebApplicationFactory. We staffed the team behind enterprise ASP.NET web systems at AMC Theatres, and we know what production load looks like.

ASP.NET API development and integration

We build REST APIs with OpenAPI contracts, gRPC for internal services, and contract testing in CI. Third-party integrations get circuit breakers (Polly), proper retry logic, and idempotency keys, which gives you an API layer your downstream consumers don't curse at.

Hire dedicated API developers

Blazor and SignalR real-time applications

Blazor Server, Blazor WebAssembly, and SignalR-backed real-time dashboards, chats, and live collaboration features. We have shipped real-time ASP.NET systems with thousands of concurrent connections and proper backplane scale-out.

Legacy ASP.NET modernization and migration

We run production migration projects from ASP.NET MVC 5, Web API 2, and WebForms to ASP.NET Core. We know which third-party libraries break in the cutover, where System.Web and OWIN sneak in, and how to stage the migration so business doesn't stop. This is modernization work we've done for systems with millions of users.

Read about .NET Core vs .NET Framework

ASP.NET Core Identity, auth, and security

ASP.NET Core Identity, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, JWT validation, role and policy-based authorization, antiforgery tokens, secure cookie configuration, and OWASP hardening. Auth is the thing most offshore teams get embarrassingly wrong. We test for it.

Hire ASP.NET Core developers, Blazor engineers, Web API specialists

Eight ASP.NET specializations, one staffing partner

Most ASP.NET teams need more than one role. Hire dedicated ASP.NET Core developers, senior Web API engineers, Blazor specialists, and ASP.NET DevOps from a single vetted bench. If your hiring is framed around the language rather than the web framework, you can also hire dedicated C# developers from the same engineers. Mix and match seniorities as the project requires.

ASP.NET Core Backend Engineers

Senior backend devs handle the API layer, business logic, and data access for your web application. They work fluently in ASP.NET Core, minimal APIs, MVC, MediatR, EF Core, and Dapper.

Mid to Staff

Full-Stack ASP.NET Developers

End-to-end engineers pair ASP.NET Core on the backend with React, Angular, or Blazor on the front. They ship features from the database to the UI without handoffs to a separate team.

Mid to Senior

ASP.NET Web API Engineers

Engineers in this specialization design REST and gRPC APIs, document them with OpenAPI, and ship versioned, well-tested endpoints. They're used to working inside hexagonal or Clean Architecture from day one.

Senior

Blazor & SignalR Engineers

Blazor Server, Blazor WebAssembly, and SignalR specialists who ship real-time dashboards, live collaboration features, and component-driven web apps. They know when JS interop is the right call and when it's a smell.

Senior

ASP.NET Azure Engineers

Microsoft-certified Azure developers who deploy ASP.NET Core to App Service, Functions, Container Apps, and AKS end-to-end. They write the Bicep too.

Senior

ASP.NET DevOps Engineers

DevOps work on these teams covers CI/CD on Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, containerized ASP.NET deployments, infrastructure as code, and observability. They make ASP.NET releases boring in the good way.

Mid to Senior

Identity & Security Engineers

When auth or production gets weird, these are the engineers you call. They own ASP.NET Core Identity, IdentityServer / Duende, OAuth 2.0 flows, JWT validation, OWASP reviews, and secrets hardening.

Senior to Staff

ASP.NET QA & SDET

Our automation engineers write tests in xUnit, NUnit, WebApplicationFactory, SpecFlow, Playwright, and Selenium against ASP.NET Core services. They build the test pyramid you wish you had.

ASP.NET development services by industry

ASP.NET expertise tuned to your industry

As an ASP.NET development company that has been around for over a decade, we have placed dedicated ASP.NET developers into nearly every industry that runs Microsoft. Domain knowledge cuts onboarding time in half, so we match developers to projects where they have already shipped real code.

Media & Entertainment

We staffed the ASP.NET team behind AMC Theatres, where the web surface area is huge: ticketing, payments, loyalty, queueing, mobile web. Media and entertainment ASP.NET work is high-traffic, customer-facing, and unforgiving of bad releases.

How to hire dedicated ASP.NET developers

Hire dedicated ASP.NET developers, two ways

Most clients start with a single dedicated ASP.NET developer and grow into a full team. Either way, you get full-time engineers who sit on your standups, work your hours, and ship code against your roadmap. Both options are staff augmentation at the core: dedicated, long-term engineers embedded in your team rather than freelancers, shared resources, or a project shop on the side. See the full breakdown of how we hire dedicated ASP.NET developers across every engagement we staff.

How to hire a dedicated ASP.NET developer from Full Scale

We skip the 3-6 week recruitment cycle and the cold sourcing entirely. Our bench of remote ASP.NET developers in the Philippines is already built and vetted through our four-stage process, and every step below has a named owner on our side.

01

Discovery call

Day 1

30 minutes with our team. We learn your stack, your roadmap, the seniority level you need, and which version of ASP.NET you're working in. We don't pitch on the call, we walk through what you actually need from a hire.

02

Engineer match

Days 2-3

We pull 1-3 pre-vetted ASP.NET engineers from the bench whose skills, seniority, and prior project experience line up with what you described. You see their full profile and their actual project history.

03

Technical interview

Days 3-5

You interview the candidates the way you would interview any senior hire: live coding, system design, middleware pipeline questions, EF Core gotchas, and ASP.NET architectural reviews. Pass anyone you don't believe in.

04

Contract & onboarding

Days 5-6

Sign once. We handle every contract, payroll, equipment, and HR detail in the Philippines so you don't have an offshore entity to manage. You just get a developer.

05

First commit

Day 7

Your developer joins your standups, gets repo access, and ships code in their first week. Our delivery managers stay involved to make sure ramp-up doesn't stall.
