Hi everyone!

Welcome to the dev.to-community!

I'm Martin, and I worked as a Senior Front End Architect and Engineering Manager at one of the world's largest digital agencies, where I led Front End Teams for international projects. After 15 years, I quit my job. Now I travel the world as a professional scuba diver, work as a freelance Front End Tech Lead and technical Recruiter for international clients. Besides that, I write about technology.

My latest book about Modern Full Stack development will be published in the beginning of next year by No Stach Press. It's an easy, hands-on introduction to creating web applications with Next.js, MongoDB and Mongoose (there's currently a 25% Discount!). You can read more about how to become a published author in my upcoming article about writing books.

I am mentoring fellow developers on another platform as well as on dev.to. I am currently publishing the "LevelUp: Elevate your Career Today" series where I give Career and Interview advice based on my experience as Engineering Manager and Technical Recruiter. (It's bascially free mentoring, don't tell my paying mentees about that :D)

If I have enough time, I write more in-depth articles, for example how to create multi-language pages with next export, which is on GitHub:next-export-i18n and npmjs: next-export-i18n


I recommend following the general tags webdev, vscode , career and productivity and javascript, react, CSS. Head over to your Dashboard and adjust the tag weight to personalize your home feed.


Here's a list of articles to start your journey as a successful developer and a great writer:


If you are looking for your next job, I highly recommend buying the Book De-Coding the Technical Interview Process by Emma Bostian. It is hands down the best preparation for every technical interview.


If you're interested in my articles, follow me on dev.to/martinkr or twitter.com/_martinkr.

If you have questions or want to get in touch, don't hesitate to contact me on dev.to/martinkr.

And remember to start posting today!

Cheers!

Hello all! I’m an embedded software engineer looking to interact with more of the programming community through writing.

I wrote a short article about my experience with agile development if anyone needs something to read while their code compiles.

Hey thanks! I appreciate the compliment.

Just as a teaser, my next post will be titled “Offensive Programming.” Should be very poignant for devs who hate checking for null.

Hellu! I'm a new dev in C# / .Net and found this site through an ADHD-dev post and feel like I have a lot to learn. This looks like a good place to grow. I'm going through a vocational school towards .Net with some knowledge towards AI and Devops.

Launched in July 2022, our interest groups – where we connect scientists, OSS developers, and other stakeholders – have been getting under way. Our initial focus areas are chemistry/material science, life sciences/healthcare, and climate/sustainability.

Hi, everyone!!! I've been using codecademy to learn front end development (JavaScript, HTML, & CSS mostly) the past 8 months. I've started working on my own projects and hoping to find some others in my position of learning to do code reviews and maybe collaborate on a project.

Hey there! I just graduated with a degree in Computer Science last December. Prior to that I have worked in service, logistics, and operations management. Some guys have a mid-life crisis and go get a tatoo and sports car, I left my job of 16 years and enrolled in college. By far the better choice! I look forward to continuing to learn more and making new connections. Feel free to drop a line any time!

Hello, everyone! I’m a junior started working as a web developer doing typescript using BFF pattern. I have high hopes here that I could learn from you a lot and since this model is very new to me and my colleagues I believe I’m at the right place to get closer both to the language practices and BFF. :)
