Hallo community!

I found about this community through a blogger. I am as, most of us here a ✌️ developer ✌️ but, I am what some people can relate to -- a long time lurker, first time poster. I have been doing some cool stufflately and been planning to blog about this for a while now. Hopefully, I can start it here.

I mostly work on backend/server development and lately I found a new interest in operations. From time to time, I contribute to OSS projects. Since some days, I have been working on adding docker support to Plausible, some of you might be aware of the blog post Why you should remove Google Analytics.

Apart from this, I am in the process of writing these blog posts, would someone be interested in these? let me know!

  • How to host your own mail-server, dns-server, analytics platform, password manager.. and more at less 15 bucks a month.

  • Setup your own secure, privacy friendly dns-server

  • How to write e2e tests on your K8s native application

I will tweet about availability of them in my blog post when it is up.

Hope to read some interesting posts here ..

🍻🍻

Rishal Vallabh

Hi everyone, I'm Rishal, a software dev from South Africa.

I don't have much exposure to sharing my knowledge and work online.
I am actually more excited to network with other amazing developers and learn from them even tho I have been coding for 6+ years now, hit me up on twitter @rishal92 .

Currently, I am working on a Numerology Mobile App as a personal project and professionally transitioning from front end developer to an integrations developer.

I am writing my first article for OfferZen(Tech Community) and will be sharing those on this platform too.

If you have any hints to building my online presence let me know :).

Michael Hemp

Hi Katie, hello everyone!

I'm Michael from Wiesbaden, Germany and I've found this great community in the JSFiddle social media settings. It seems to be a wonderful alternative to sites like Stack Overflow, Quora, Reddit, and further.
Briefly about me: In 1983 I’ve started with IBM mainframe operating and struggled with punched cards, tapes, and hard drives as big as washing machines. Later I’ve worked as an administrator of Lotus Notes/Domino servers, the number two of the most-hated software. And now after further stations - also aside IT as a radio presenter & event DJ - I’m a self-employed Technical Editor currently focused on IT documentation and Knowledge Management since 2004.
But that’s not the end - many interesting topics from web and application development are waiting to be discovered. And when a DJ is needed again, then it’s still: β€œWork hard - party (much) hard(er)!”

Have a great day,
Michael.

Baishakhi Chakraborty

Hello everyone, so I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start with. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience.I am Baishakhi Chakraborty. Presently I am pursuing my engineering in Electronics and communication engineering from Netaji Subhash Engineering College under MAKAUT. I am in my 4th semester right now. Being a budding engineer I dream of a great technical world. Frankly speaking I am a web designer/developer focused on crafting great web experiences. Designing and Coding have been my passion since the days I started working with computers but I found myself into web design/development in 2020. I enjoy creating beautifully designed, intuitive and functional websites. Earlier I was not so interested in this tech stuffs but when I started boosting my knowledge I got so much interested.

Hello everyone, I'm Jordan Castillo!

I live in the beautiful, green city of Seattle. My background is in Product Management and Scrum Master responsibilities for startups. I just finished an immersive Full Stack program where I expanded on my technical skills with React, Redux, Express, Node and SQL.

While I love working on server-side code, especially designing schemas and manipulating databases, I get fired up on all things client-side too. I believe my PM background and experience working with designers makes me very passionate about building intuitive, elegant user experiences and interfaces.

I hope to contribute in any way that I can bring value to the products I build and contribute to. I also consistently work on gaining exposure to tech/frameworks I may not have experience with, as I love learning and building with new concepts. As developers, I know we all live for that 'aha!' moment in our work. :)

Feel free to check out my site to learn a little more about me.

Jordan,

I checked out your website that you have linked there. It is truly amazing. Even that very first page that types the intro message out is perfectly timed and very well done.

I am graduating with a degree in Computer Science and focused more on the theoretical stuff so I am working on teaching myself how to do all of that kind of impressive web design stuff.

Hey Braden! Thanks so much for the kind words! I love the design element to front-end development.

My portfolio site was made completely with React and styled-components. Both are a good starting point I recommend taking a look at. There's a lot of great documentation on how to use styled-compnents incorporated in your apps and I find it very easy to manage and maintain compared to over-bloated css files.

Please feel free to reach out if you ever want to connect, chat or ask questions about it! I'm very passionate about it and always love chatting with fellow developers (:

Cyris ⭐️ JavaScript

Oh here we go... I'm no good at writing.

Hi everyone! I'm Cyris or otherwise known as @sudo_overflow on Twitter. I've been coding for 10 years and started out with basic HTML/CSS skills coding emails for a Digitial Marketing Company.

I'm 100% self-taught and through the years I taught myself JavaScript and NodeJS. Now I'm a lead full-stack developer. I enjoy helping CodeNewbies and will mostly be posting for that purpose, alongside any interesting things I find on my coding journey.

Even though I've been coding for 10 years, I'm still learning just like everyone else.
I hope my posts will inspire or help others.

Cheers,
Cyris

Greetings all, I am a newcomer to open source and have recently devoted much work to a functional (programming) promise library, rubico. I created this library because I think functional programming in JavaScript is harder than it should be.. so basically I just want to make everyone's life easier. If you work with Promises day to day or are interested in functional programming, I urge you to check it out.

As of late, I have been playing a lot with Deno. I look forward to meeting everyone! Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone, I'm Mahmoud and I'm so glad to come here actually, I am still a student on my last year at the Faculty of Engineering in Computers & Automatic Control Department.

I made a decision that I should join a community with people who I can share with them many things in common at least my career and passion about technologies , web development and other stuff. While searching for new articles to read I came here and I have made the decision and I have told myself " Hey, What's stopping you from joining right now ? Go do it now " and finally I am here with you ❀

I am in love with web development as a Back-End Developer, I was learning Node.Js for Graduation Project we 're working on " Self Driving Car which can deliver people to their location like Uber but with a Self Driving Car " and nowadays I'm learning Socket.IO and Finally in the quarantine I was heading up with .NET CORE and C#

I think there's something fun about me and it's obviously that I love playing with child's checks so I love checks πŸ˜‚β€

Thilina Ratnayake

HELLO WORLD!

My name is Thilina ("Thi-Li-Nuh") though most people call me T. I went to school for engineering though I didn't know if that was for me. I loved writing Node.js (back when it was the nu kid on the block) but now mostly spend my days building things using the language that fits (lately a lot of Python and Go). Career wise - After graduation I started off in Support before deciding that techy things ARE what I wanted to do, so I got back into engineering. In school projects I was the person that loved talking to users, doing presentations and writing docs - and it seems that's still me, which is why I usually call my self the most "non-engineering" engineer πŸ˜‰ My interest is thinking about the people experience part of dev (whether that be the customer, user or dev experience). I'm here because it feels like there's always too many writing platforms to choose from and I figure it'd be easier to focus on writing about dev if I'm on a site built specifically for it!

Anyways, I'm still getting the lay of the land but I'm excited to read what ya'll share!

Cheers,

  • T
