Hey! 👋 I'm Carlos — Platform Engineer with 25+ years in infra.
These days: multi-cloud AWS/GCP, Snowflake, IaC with OpenTofu, and HIPAA/SOC2 in healthcare. I write about what actually works in production. No toy projects.
Glad to be here!
Hey Carlos! Glad you are here and hope you are well! What inspired you to start Platform Engineering?
Because OnlyFans wasn’t available at the time. Just kidding. I think it was the logical next step for me, coming from the on-premises world of servers and networking.
lmao threw me off there not gonna lie. Thanks for sharing btw :D
Hey Carlos! 👋🏻
Just wanted to say welcome to everyone new and not-so-new to DEV. 👋
Hope y'all enjoy it here!

Sloan is great :)
Welcome everyone!
Hey everyone. Just dropping in here, looking forward to collaborate and chat with other developers.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Community 👋
I’m Katharina, a software developer, mainly C#, Clean Architecture, DDD. But to be honest, I always end up somewhere else.
Last stop: Python, graph theory and swarm intelligence.
Before that: hackathons with Wolfram Language, GeoPandas and Streamlit.
Next stop: unclear. Probably something I don’t know about yet.
On GitHub, I go by the name lady-logic.
Looking forward to the community here! 🐇
Hi Katharina. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Made any games using C#? Any lessons that helped you win hackathons?
Have a great time here.🫡
I appreciate you taking the time to respond to almost everyone here as much as you could. I am almost burnt out from doing this lol
Thanks Konark! I appreciate it really! Making Richard proud :)
Don't burnout Francis. You are a part of the community that is there to help you. I like replying to the comments. This community has always been so caring, supportive and so giving to me. I found amazing people like you.
I can't return the favor but would love to help in some way or the other. That's why I welcome everyone to this amazing community.
Don't feel burnout buddy. We are here. You can comment first and then leave the rest to me or other people sometimes. For me, it's super fun to interact with new people some are ceo, pm, 10+ years, 15+ years of experience and many more so asking them and talking to them feels amazing. Yes, making Richard proud. I can't replace him but would love to be like him and share and encourage everyone.😊
Hi Konark,
no, I’ve never programmed games in C# before. Maybe I should give it a go.
I can’t recommend hackathons highly enough – you get to meet interesting people and learn a lot.
Welcome to DEV @ladylogic!!
Hello all i'm siyadh 👋🏼---I build developer tools focused on cybersecurity, automation, and recon.
Right now i'm working on tools to streamline asset discovery, subdomain enumeration, and intelligence gathering into a single workflow. The goal is simple: reduce manual recon effort and make high-signal data easier to extract.
I'll be sharing what i build, what breaks, and what i learn along the way.
Always open to contribute with people working in security, dev tools, or anything in that space.
Hey hey siyadh!
Hey Siyadh! Welcome to dev! Great work so far and can't wait to see what you share to the community!
What's your favorite part about cybersecurity in your opinion? It is quite an interesting field.
Heey Siyadh, I'm working in cybersec software engineer like you. Now I'm focused on OT field to build tool to made safa OT Infrastructure.
It seems very interesting your streamline project, I can't wait to read an article on the topic! 😁
Hi Siyadh 👋. Looking forward to your posts
Hello! Welcome to
dev.to!I'm Alok - I build developer tools and I'm here mostly to cross-post the writing I already publish on my own site. My current project is ClipGate, a terminal-native clipboard vault for developers that auto-classifies every copy (secrets, code, URLs, errors, diffs, JSON, shell commands…) and keeps everything in an encrypted local SQLite database with no cloud or telemetry. It also ships an MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, and friends can query your clipboard history without leaking secrets to the model.Topics I enjoy writing about: developer productivity, security hygiene, Rust CLI ergonomics, and the surprisingly deep rabbit hole that is "what happens when you copy something." Excited to learn from this community and trade notes with folks building in the same space.Happy to connect!
Hi! Interesting… Nice to see you here!
Hey Alok! Welcome to Dev! How long have you worked on ClipGate? Quite interesting and great work! Hope your journey goes well :D
Hello! I'd be happy to read a post about productivity! Nice to have you here! :)
Hey! I'm Dan,
Solo founder building developer APIs in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Currently shipping Rendex — a screenshot, PDF, and HTML rendering API that runs on Cloudflare Workers.
Excited to start writing tutorials here about browser rendering, Python automation, and building API products as a solo dev.
Happy to connect with anyone working on developer tools or building in public. 🤙
Hey Dan! Welcome to Dev!
Hi everyone, i'm a 3 years computer technician and recently forming myself on python to continue building my ideas of open-source project that I want to build to help others
Great to have everyone! You're highly encouraged to find a post you found helpful and leave a comment to the author!
Do it a few times to show your appreciation.
Hey Dev.to 👋
I'm Liam, a software engineer with about five years of experience — full-stack to start, then a couple years leading an engineering team at AWS.
These days I'm studying physics at university while building a self-hosted AI assistant.
It started as a tab-switching fix and went somewhere deeper — persistent memory across sessions, a self-tuning feedback loop that scores its own responses over time, each conversation isolated in its own container.
Still going.
Looking forward to sharing things as I build them 😄
Very impressive Liam! Welcome to Dev! What did you work on in AWS in particular?
Hey Francis, appreciate it!
Regarding AWS - We worked on a product called "Resilience Hub", it's designed to provide cloud-infrastructure modification recommendations based on the client's specific resiliency goals (The concept of "resilience" in cloud infrastructure is focusing on cases where AWS servers are down for some reason, in different scales - Software, Hardware, Availability Zones, Regions).
Goals could be either "How long am I ok with AWS's servers down, until I act", and "How much 'data-time' I'm okay with losing, if at all".
That's the tip-of-the-iceberg summary 😅
Hi Liam. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Name three laws of motion😂. Any theory you read or studied that you fallen in love with?
All the best for your project. Have a great time here.🫡
Thanks!
Three laws of motion as of Newton's? because there are a lot more than that 😜
Personally - Special Relativity is my favorite, at least as of now 😃
Yes there could. I just touched physics got confused with so many theories and symbols.
Cool Special Relativity. Do you believe in Blackhole or a 4th Dimension?
Hey everyone! I'm Benji, building IssueCapture — a bug reporting widget for Jira and JSM. It's a JavaScript widget that captures screenshots, console errors, and network failures automatically and creates detailed Jira tickets.
The technical side has been a fun challenge — Shadow DOM for CSS isolation, Preact to keep it under 40KB, and Supabase with RLS for multi-tenancy. Currently working on AI-powered triage and duplicate detection using Gemini and pgvector.
Excited to share more technical deep-dives here. Happy to connect with anyone working on embeddable widgets, developer tools, or the Atlassian ecosystem.
Hi Benji. Welcome to the community ! 😊
IssueCapture it sounds like a perfect tool that can solve many issues. Keep building more stuff like this. Can you explain to what embeddable widgets are?
What's your favorite dev tool?
Have a great time here.🫡
Thanks Konark! An embeddable widget is a piece of JavaScript that other websites add to their pages — usually with a single script tag. It renders its own UI (like a button or modal) on top of the host page. The tricky part is making sure your widget's CSS doesn't clash with theirs, which is why we use Shadow DOM for isolation.
Favourite dev tool right now is probably Supabase — Postgres with auth, RLS, and edge functions out of the box. Hard to beat for shipping fast.
Wow, it sounds cool to use. I need to make an embeddable widget soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Ofcourse, Supabase is nice. Easy, functional and perfect backend.
Hello !! nice to meet you
Hi all - I'm somewhat new to the platform. I've worked in startups and software companies for my entire career, currently building platforms with more emphasis on AI driven flows and the move towards "dark factories". I've been writing on other platforms for a while, and followed a few links for great reads here, and decided to start publishing on here as well.
Welcome Ryan! Hope you are well! Any plans on a specific topic you want to publish here (AI related articles or just all around?)
Hello! Didn't know about dark factories. Happy to learn something new, thank you! :)
Hello! Welcome.
Quick question, with the way agents and foundational LLMs change with each new release, how do you go about exploring their new capabilities?
Hi dev.to! I'm Stefanie! I am building agentic infrastructure and a whole array of open source / indie apps that you can find on Github. Just made my first post here about designing terminal interfaces and testing them with AI and automation 💜
Great work Stefanie! Welcome!
I'm new here too Stephanie. You're welcome
Hey everyone! I'm Ryan Sebastian, founder and full-stack engineer at Ghost Protocol — a software and cybersecurity studio based in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

across 15+ projects spanning web development, penetration testing platforms, AI automation, and app development.
Excited to share technical deep-dives on SQLite patterns, MCP protocol integration, and lessons from building a solo dev studio in Sri Lanka.
Happy to connect with anyone working on AI tooling, web dev, security, or open source!
Hey Ryan! Welcome to DEV.to and hope you are well! How long have you been Full-stack for and was wondering any good tips into that field? Thanks and Good luck!
Hey Ryan, welcome to dev.to!!
Thank you!
Hello! Welcome to the platform!
Hi! Is security frustrating for you? It doesn't need to be.
My name is Milo and I'm a security guy, mostly focused on application security. My experience ranges from penetration testing, through security engineering up to security architecture where I'm now.
The red line connecting these dots was always staying near to the developers. Security is important, but so is shipping features and I strive to remove the usual needless friction.
In the spare time I tinker with python and self-hosting. I might have an addiction to Advent of Code (325 stars and counting) and Factorio in the off-season.
I'll be sharing my experiments, thoughts and headaches. Please let me know if you have some burning questions, I'm happy to chat!
Hey Miloslav! Welcome to DEV! What's your favorite part on doing application security and how long have you been in this field?
Honestly, the variety of it. Between code, users, bots, CI/CD, business requirements and hacking. Since there's always something to do, I'm happy I can pick what interests me. I got 9 years and counting.
Hi everyone! My name is Zarko Nikolic, software developer from Serbia. I'm excited to finally introduce myself to this community. I've been lurking on Dev.to for a while, learning from your posts and discussions — and it's about time I showed up properly.
I'm a mid-level developer with several years of experience under my belt, and my journey has taken me across both the traditional web and the decentralized world. I started out building full stack web applications, getting comfortable with React.js on the frontend and .NET on the backend — and I genuinely love how those two together can produce clean, scalable products.
But at some point, I fell down the Web3 rabbit hole — and I haven't looked back. There's something about building decentralized applications and working with Blockchain technology that just clicked for me. The idea that code can be trustless, transparent, and community-owned is something I find genuinely exciting to build toward. Since then, I've been focusing on creating Web3 websites and dApps, combining my full stack background with smart contract development.
On top of that, I also work with Flutter for cross-platform mobile development — because why stop at the web?
I'm here to share what I've learned, the mistakes I've made, and the things I'm still figuring out. The Web3 space moves fast and I think open conversation in communities like this one is one of the best ways to grow — both as a developer and as a person in this industry.
If you're building in Web3, working with React or .NET, or just curious about decentralized tech — let's connect. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Happy to be here. Let's build something great. 🚀
Hey folks! 👋 I’m Amit, a Senior AI Engineer specializing in Applied AI, startups, and backend infrastructure.
I've been leaning heavily into "learning in public" recently. I wanted a dedicated, developer-first community to share my digital garden - ranging from raw notes on AI courses I'm taking, to highly technical deep-dives on system architecture. I just published a post on severing the API cord to build fully offline AI agents, and Dev.to felt like the perfect place to geek out about it!
I'm currently building and expanding two main tools: Ask Andela and InfraSquad.
My GitHub handle is sectumpsempra 🪄. I like to think compiling llama.cpp from scratch for Apple Silicon optimization is the modern-day equivalent of reading the Half-Blood Prince's potion notes.
Super excited to connect with other builders here. If anyone is working on multi-agent systems, local open-source AI, or just hacking on cool side projects, say hi! 👇
Hi Amit. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Amazing article Amit. Keep up the spirit. Any lessons you wanna share you learned that helped you in building these?
Have a great time here.🫡
Thanks @konark_13!
I spent a lot of time figuring out how to run the 26B Gemma-4 model and the smaller Nemotron-nano 4B efficiently on my machine. The screenshots have the updated parameters - before that I did face high latency. Also, there seems to be a huge difference between running a model via llama.cpp vs ollama directly - especially with Opencode, but that is because Opencode adds a lot of prompt overhead making the token size ~ 10-15k.
Overall, it was a great experience being able to run everything locally without internet for the first time and its worth a try. I have downloaded qwen3.5:4B next for my experiment.
I was looking into Ollama and 3B size is around 3/4 GB then what size would be of 26B Gemma. Was it better than 3B or 7B? I never tried llama.cpp should I try it?
Yes, it is fun but I have a question there is no history once we close the sessions or the conversations get locally saved? Have fun in your next experiment.
Gemma-4 26B is approx. 18GB. llama.cpp isn’t required you can pull it via ollama and run it locally. I was trying to build an offline coding agent and hence the effort. One benefit of having a GGUF file is that it can be imported to ollama later with some changes.
Conversations can be saved locally, there are options in llama.cpp server settings at least - you can save them on disk/file. Thanks!
For more details refer - unsloth.ai/docs/models/gemma-4
Thanks and happy building!
Hi everyone! I'm Andrei, a Frontend Developer from Iași, Romania with almost 11 years of experience across e-health, e-commerce, and B2B applications. My main stack is React and TypeScript, though I've touched everything from Node.js and AngularJS to Web Components and Polymer over the years.
My current focus is building Evaficy Smart Test (app.evaficy.com) — an AI-powered test case generator and QA management platform I've been developing as a personal project. It combines OpenAI-driven test case generation with a full workflow: project management, expert validation, structured test runs, defect tracking, and a quality dashboard — all in one tool for QA teams.
What drew me here is the intersection of AI and developer tooling. I'm particularly interested in how AI can reduce the manual overhead in QA workflows without sacrificing the human judgment that makes testing reliable. Happy to talk React, full-stack architecture, or anything QA-related!
GitHub: Programmer4web
Hi Andrei. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow Evaficy sounds nice and quite helpful. All the best for your project. What lessons your learned while building it?
One tip for beginner who wanna be a full stack developer.
Have a great time here.🫡
Thank you! The biggest lesson has been to stay focused — it's tempting to keep adding features, but shipping something simple and useful early teaches you far more than perfecting it in isolation. Also, real user feedback changes everything. Happy to be here!
Wow, such amazing lessons. Thank you for sharing such amazing insights. Staying focused and real feedback are the utmost part of being a better developer.
nice to meet you buddy!
Hi everyone!👋 I'm Umitomo🐠 from Japan 🇯🇵

Hi, I'm Sara Adebisi !
I am an undergraduate student and a Certified Virtual Assistant now pivoting into the tech ecosystem. My journey is currently fueled by:
DevOps: Learning the ropes of automation and infrastructure at She Code Academy.
Software Development: Building the foundations for scalable applications.
My background in virtual assistance has taught me the value of efficiency and clear communication, which I now apply to my code and DevOps pipelines. I’m here to learn, build, and grow with the community.
Hi Sara. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow nice to have experience in both. Any tips for us that we can apply from your virtual assistance?
Have a great time here.🫡
Hi! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I’m happy to be here!
Regarding tips from the world of virtual assistance that apply to any technical community, I’d say these three are the most impactful:
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Even for personal projects, documenting your process helps you replicate success and troubleshoot much faster.
Time Blocking: Treating your learning or coding time like a client appointment ensures you make consistent progress without getting overwhelmed.
The "Inbox Zero" Mindset for Tasks: Keeping a clean, prioritized task list is just as important as keeping a clean codebase,it clears the mental clutter so you can focus on the logic.
I’m really looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing more about how these worlds intersect!
Wow, Sarah. Perfect lessons SOP, Time blocking, Inbox zero. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing. I will try to implement these in my day to day life.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a full-stack dev and infrastructure tinkerer based in Singapore. I spend most of my time building internal tools, wrestling with API integrations, and lately—obsessing over LLM cost efficiency.
What brought me here: I kept running into the same frustrating payment friction when trying to test new AI APIs from regions where PayPal isn't always smooth. Instead of just complaining, I ended up building a tiny prepaid proxy wrapper to solve my own problem (classic dev move, right?).
I'm here to learn how others are handling global payment layers for AI services, and to share what I've learned about the trade-offs between convenience, cost, and data privacy when using third-party API gateways.
Fun fact: I once debugged a production outage caused by a misconfigured
base_urlat 2 AM. Now I have trust issues with copy-pasting endpoints.Looking forward to reading everyone's intros and swapping war stories! If you've ever been stuck on a "minimum $5 top-up" wall, let's commiserate. ☕

Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Bulat here — software engineer in test [java, python, go] with a slight addiction to refactoring code that was 'working fine.'
I write about quality automation and its metrics — especially the parts nobody puts in the official docs. Just posted my second piece on why shift-left testing struggles on large systems, which might make some people uncomfortable. Good.
If you like content that challenges the status quo over content that just validates it, we'll get along great. Drop a follow and let's build something worth reading. 🚀
Hey everyone!
I’ve recently gotten interested in RAG and I’m working on an exploratory lab setup. I’m planning to write a short article about the journey — the good parts and the pitfalls.
Glad to be here 👋
Hi Markus. Welcome to the community ! 😊
RAG is quite interesting if you go deeper. Have you heard of Reranking. I was amazed to know about it.
All the best for your articles. Have a great time here.🫡
Hi Konark,
You’re absolutely right — reranking is a really interesting topic. In fact, the RAG‑LCC exploration lab already includes a reranking step when retrieving chunks from ChromaDB.
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it!
Wow, so cool. Looking forward for your exploration lab. I need weekly updates on your projects and topics you learned 😆.
All the best looking forward for your articles.
Hi, I'm Mayowa 👋 I'm new to cloud computing and DevOps, and I joined this platform to learn, practice, and grow my skills through hands-on experience — while connecting with others who are on the same journey🚀.
Hey Dev.to — I'm Femi, and I Build Things That Matter
My name is Femi Adedayo. I'm an AI Software Engineer, Automation Specialist, and Founder who believes the best software isn't just functional; it's purposeful.
By day (and most nights), I'm the Founder and CEO of Hgray AI Automation Agency, where we help businesses eliminate manual work and scale through intelligent automation and AI-powered software. I'm a verified n8n creator, and I love shipping production-ready systems that genuinely change how businesses operate.
I also co-founded Pearmedica, a healthcare AI platform building clinical decision support and medical intelligence infrastructure for African markets. And yes, I run Kaabo Lounge, a restaurant, café, and cocktail bar in Woolwich, London. Life is multidimensional. 😄
What I'm building right now:
One project I'm especially excited about is RAG-Forge, an open-source, framework-agnostic CLI toolkit that scaffolds production-grade RAG pipelines with evaluation baked in from day one, not bolted on after deployment. Think of it as create-next-app for RAG. The killer feature is
rag-forge audit, which you can run against any existing RAG pipeline to instantly get an HTML health report scored against a built-in RAG Maturity Model (RMM-0 through RMM-5), surfacing chunking issues, retrieval gaps, and hallucination risks. It also ships with MCP server support and a native n8n workflow template, because that's the ecosystem I live in.What I'll be writing about:
If you're working in AI, automation, RAG, or healthtech, drop a comment or connect. Let's build something worth building. 🚀
Femi
Heeeey! I'm Andrew from Italy -- Cyber security software engineer with 6] years of experience.

Hello everyone, I’m Anukalp Pandey from Nepal, a Computer Science graduate.
I am currently contributing to open-source organizations like OWASP and Apache, starting with bug fixes and documentation improvements. I have a good understanding of Java, Python, and Networking, and I am currently learning Operating Systems, Data Structures & Algorithms, and System Design.
Happy to be here and looking forward to contributing more and exploring opportunities for contributions or job roles.
Hi Anukalp. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Any tips for a beginner open source contributer? Which organization to start from.
Have a great time here.🫡
Hello Konark,
If you are college student then i suggest that go to gosc website and see the latest organization particapated in the gsoc and grab the organization from there and start contribution like documentation improvement, small bug fix and try to understand there code base so later it will help to get chance to paricapate in gsoc and it's really fantastic idea for future and also see that which organization have good community interact with them and try to understand there need before fork any organization or contribute according to you skills. I hope it will help you.....If you need any further idea or help then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Wow, such valuable insights. Thank you Anukalp. Keep sharing your open source journey. Looking forward for your articles.
Hey everyone 👋
I’m building BuildBaseKit — a collection of production-ready Spring Boot boilerplates.
Right now I’m focused on solving one problem:
making deployment and setup actually simple for developers.

Welcome to Dev.to Javier!
Hey everyone, I’m Mihai.
My background is in frontend & UI (6 years), and full stack development (2 years), and lately I’ve been spending a lot more time at the intersection of software, automation, and marketing systems.
What brought me here is probably the same thing pushing a lot of devs lately: trying to understand how technical work, AI, and business value fit together now that the barrier to building is getting lower.
Right now I’m especially interested in automation, lead-gen systems, content workflows, and how developers can think beyond just shipping features.
Fun fact: I’m the kind of person who would rather spend 20 hours building a system than pay $5 for a tool, even when that is clearly the worse decision.
Happy to connect with people building useful tools or thinking through similar shifts.
Hey! I'm Felix 👋
Software developer with 10 years. Currently most interested in the intersection of browser tooling and AI-assisted development.
I recently built an open-source project called Inspecto — a browser-first frontend workflow tool. The idea is simple: start from the webpage, precisely locate the source code, and seamlessly hand off context to your AI assistant. No DevTools, no manual file searching, no copy-pasting context. You click it on the page, the AI knows where to fix it.
Excited to join the DEV community! Happy to chat about AI tooling, developer experience, or dev workflows. 🙌
Hi Felix. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Inspecto seems pretty handy and useful. Something that was always wanted. Thanks for building such an awesome project. I would love to use it.
Have a great time here.🫡
Hi Konark! Thanks so much for the warm welcome and the kind words! 😊
I'm thrilled to hear that Inspecto resonates with you. If you end up giving it a spin, I'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts or any feedback you might have.
Thanks again, and enjoy the pizza! 🍕🙌

Hello all.
I'm an Instrument Technician by Trade, currently earning a living by leveraging my Electronics/Programming/Design skills to build cool new products and prototypes for my clients as a Freelancer.
In my off time, I like to build open source hardware and software solutions and share them with the world.
Hi. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow Instrument Technician sounds like a really fancy job. Any cool products that you thought wouldn't worked but was loved by client?
Have a great time here.🫡
I suppose one that comes to mind from back in the day, when I was still working as an Instrument Tech in the Oil & Gas Industry...
We were using a product called DataTaker DT50, built by an Australian company (now bought out by Thermo Fisher Scientific) and it used a proprietary scripting language to program it.
Building Data Acquisition systems with this product was time consuming and extremely annoying due to the products limited memory, processing power, and cryptic scripting language.
I took one of the devices home, along with an accompanying Industrial Touch Screen and in my spare time, figured out that the Touch Screen had ample memory and processing to spare and that the touch screen could actually be hacked to send program scripts to the DataTaker module.
I ended up coding a generic Data Acquisition System that the end user could setup in the field, adding only the types of sensors they needed and the HMI would automatically morph into a display that worked with that specific "recipe" AND send the program to gather the data on the DT50 data logger itself.
This setup eliminated the need to program custom scripts for each device and project, and could instead just be setup by a field employee with no programming experience.
When I had it completed, I showed it to my supervisor who called in the department lead from the head office. After viewing the setup, he insisted on paying me for all the time I spent on it, and distributed the system to every field office. I was pretty stoked!
A few years ago I ran into my old supervisor and he told me they were still using it years and years later and that when that specific model of data logger was EOL, they bought a bunch to hold in inventory so they could continue using the system.
All I wanted to do, by taking the system home and messing with it, was to get good enough not to embarrass myself from my lack of scripting knowledge and experience with the product line... and I ended up creating the standard that everyone relied on and used.
Whenever I have "Imposter Syndrome" type thoughts that I'm not good enough, or I'm not smart enough to make something work, I use the memory of this experience to power through and get s**t done!
Wow, really impressive story. Your story is quite inspiring. You already are enough and an amazing person to work with. Don't think you aren't good enough. You are far far better than anyone in your field. Keep it up and keep breaking and building amazing stuff.
Have a great time here.
Hello
The name is Bukky. Worked in Food, Beverages and Retailing sector for over 15 years. looking into changing industry to technology, and would want to learn more about the software and new technologies industry
cheers !
Hi Bukky. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow nice. What was the best things you liked your previous sector? and which sector you wanna explore in tech like web dev, mobile, web3?
Have a great time here.🫡
Hi Konark,
Thank You, One thing, I liked in my previous sector was that one big part of it was the constant application of new ideas, and innovative ways of growing the sector, this from menu changes and adapting it to current clientele, and also consumer and how they are tailored to changing styles.
for the tech sector, I am actually interested in app development and how robust can they made to be able to speak to different software software and platforms
Wow, your previous sector seems impressive. Nice have a great time building and breaking apps. Looking forward for your articles on your journey of app development.
Hi everyone! I'm Ryan, a CTO at a fashion-tech company in Japan.
I've been diving deep into Model Context Protocol (MCP) and recently built a fleet of 17 MCP servers to automate our internal operations—everything from querying 994 DB tables to syncing Google Meet transcripts for RAG.
I’m excited to connect with other AI/LLM enthusiasts here. I've just started sharing my journey through a few articles, so feel free to check them out if you're interested in scaling AI agents at work!
Looking forward to learning from this community! 🚀
Hey everyone! I'm Waleed. I've been building AI systems for 25+ years -- started with a PhD in AI, then spent time as a Principal Engineer at Google (founded the Android Location/Sensing team -- the "blue dot"), worked in the CTO's office at Uber on ML infrastructure, and was Chief Scientist at Anyscale working on Ray.
These days I'm building Codev, an open-source AI-assisted development platform. It's designed for real engineering work -- brownfield codebases, multi-agent collaboration, proper git workflows. I actually use it to build itself, which keeps me honest.
I'm here to share what I'm learning about AI-assisted development and connect with others pushing the boundaries of developer tooling. Looking forward to being part of this community

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Alex.
After 20 years in the trenches of high-concurrency infra and trading systems, I’ve decided to focus on the next big hurdle: the 'data plumbing' for the AI Agent era.
I’m currently building PipeAgent.dev — an API gateway that turns messy insights into standardized, agent-native JSON feeds. I just published my first deep dive here on DEV about why we need to stop open-sourcing our secret sauce and start building a real Agent Economy.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow infra nerds and AI builders! Glad to be here.

Hey DEVs
I'm Guido not a developer, but I live and breathe developer tools.
Currently leading GTM at Kosuke AI, the first Cloud IDE ready for the agents
My path here is... unconventional:
Started at McDonald's (yes, really not McKinsey)
Tried to build a tech-bio startup to 3D print human organs. Didn't work. Learned a ton.
Underperforming stock investor (the market humbles us all)
Former competitive sprinter the only place where my move fast instincts actually paid off
I'm here to learn from the people actually building real things, understand what makes devs tick (and what makes them rage-quit a tool), and share what I'm seeing on the GTM/product side of AI dev tools.
If you're working on something interesting in the AI coding space or just want to roast my organ-printing idea say hi.
