adamant

/ˈad·ə·mənt/ · adjective & noun

1.refusing to be moved from a decision or standard.
2.archaic — a stone of impenetrable hardness.

From the Greek adamas: unconquerable. The ancients used it for the hardest material they could imagine. It's also where the word diamond comes from — and it has a certain name inside it.

What this is

Adamant Dev is Adam Lawrence — a freelance software developer based in the UK.

I take on contract development work: building new software, extending existing systems, and unsticking the projects other people have walked away from. You deal with me directly — the person who writes the code is the person who answers the email.

Build

C#/.NET services, game-server mods, Discord bots and API integrations — scoped honestly, built to last longer than the invoice.

Extend

New plugins, features and integrations for frameworks and systems you already run — without breaking what already works.

Rescue

Inherited codebases, stalled projects, departed developers. Diagnosis first, then a plan you can hold me to.

Featured project

Oxide

C# / .NET

A modding framework for game servers — a plugin runtime, custom Roslyn compiler and IL patcher that add extensibility to .NET games like Rust. Contributor across the core, compiler and game extensions.

Running in production on thousands of community game servers.

How I work

Plain estimates.You get a scope, a price and the assumptions behind both — before any work starts.

Small, visible steps.Working software early and often, so nothing is a surprise at the end.

Your code, your keys.Everything lives in your repositories and your accounts from day one. No hostages.

About Adam

I'm a software developer who likes hard problems more than shiny ones — the plugin runtimes, IL patchers and integrations that have to keep working while everything around them changes.

Most of my work is in C# and .NET, with a long-running open-source track record in the Oxide game-modding ecosystem. When I'm not on contract work I run a homelab and automate things that arguably didn't need automating. Adamant is a one-person company by design: small enough to care about every line.
