Hello,

My firstname is Guillaume, I'm student

in Open Class Rooms (Java developer ) in France.

Hello! I started the self-taught journey to become a web developer a few months ago. I made an dev.to account initially to document my progress and share insights that might be of use to others in the community. When I'm not learning, I'm playing with my dogs, reading something sci-fi/fantasy, or writing short stories.

Hi all 👋

My name is Bobby and I'm from Bulgaria.

I work as a Linux DevOps engineer. I am an avid Linux lover and supporter of the open-source movement philosophy. I also help with the DigitalOcean community forum and I work on various web-based projects including the Quiz API (you should check it is free for developers!).

I try to write tutorials for my own blog, dev.to and for the devdojo.com website!

Hello!

I've been on dev.to for a while but just recently started to get more active on the site. I'm currently using dev.to and hashnode while I decide where my primary platform will be. I just found out about dev.to's stackbit integration so I'm really torn between the two but already started posting to hashnode, so I'll see what happens.

I'm currently learning JavaScript. I previously learned a bit of Python but never used it for a real-world application. I switched to JavaScript because I felt it fit more with what I eventually want to get involved with, and that's cross-platform apps. I haven't decided on a field yet but I recently started reading up on civic tech and that really got my interest. I just bought a physical copy of Eloquent JavaScript to have something I can read without being tied down to the PC, and to see if learning with a physical copy will provide any additional benefits.

Casually, I enjoy gaming and primarily play FPS games on PC. I'm active on Instagram and Twitter, and used to actively stream on Twitch.

If anyone has played with hashnode and dev.to, I'd love your feedback. Otherwise, feel free to connect with me for any other reason. Thanks! :)

Hello everyone,

My name is Lev and I am happy to join this community. I'm currently leading the solutions engineering team at LaunchDarkly. I love people, python, and continuous delivery. Right now, I am working on a handful of random open source projects in my free time. In addition, I re(started) #100DaysOfCode this week.

Hi all,
I'm Johnny, a full stack developer. I've been reading quite a lot of the articles from this site, so I thought it just makes sense to join the community.

I have been freelancing in the last couple of years, which enables me to live an amazing lifestyle from my chosen home, Barcelona ☀️.
I'm the biggest loser when it comes to games, but it's for fun anyways 🕹.
Besides tech, I'm always up for chatting about guitars, extreme sports, or pop culture.

My goal is to start writing some articles, meet new people from around the world, and contribute a bit to this awesome community.

Hi all,

I'm Kalin, by day I'm a Linux System Administrator, by when I have time I'm a Web Developer, mostly using PHP and Laravel . This has been both my job and my hobby for the past 5 years and I dare say my hunger for knowledge hasn't dried up yet.

My recent achievement or at least how I feel it is, is starting a small websites with two of my friends. It's about quizzes on various tech topics like JS and Kubernetes - Quiz API . It ain't much but we put our heart and soul in it. I'm sharing it as I feel this is how everyone's hobby should make them feel, awesome!

Anyway, happy to be here, in such a positive community!

Hello Dev.to community,

Read a few great articles here and just wanted to start contributing myself. I'm an experienced PHP developer and a bunch of other cool dev/ops tech.

What would be a good article to write up in the PHP realm?

Hello! 👋

I'm Jeff Jadulco, I'm a game developer for 5 years and now I'm dipping my toes into web development. I like open source and I plan to write and share my journey while learning web development. 😬
