Wishing you all the best on your full stack developer journey! :)

[Abi Castro]

Hello! 👋


My name is Abigail but I go by Abi :) Previously, I was a Full Stack Software Engineer before diving into Developer Relations. I am now a year into my new DevRel role and am enjoying learning new skills, supporting the developer community, and, light travel. My hobbies revolve around improv, music, and dogs!

I am looking to become more active in the open source community and contribute to projects that match my interests. Looking forward to supporting different projects and helping others get started as well.

Hola amazing DEV community!

I'm Goon, I've launched TopRanking.AI - a platform dedicated to sharing and upvoting the most useful AI products. With hundreds of AI-powered products released every day, it can be overwhelming to navigate the AI sea. Now, with topranking.ai we can easily find the best AI products without the hassle.

In the end, life is all about sharing, we deserve best solutions to save more time.

Let build this place together!

Hi!

I'm Kait. I am a English teacher, and a writer, by trade.

Recently, I've found a hobby with chatbots.

It has recently occurred to me that with the advancement of AI--that people want something even more immersive.

My idea: The Integration of huggingface LLMs with Animated Avatars and Voice synthesis.

I know there is oobagooba, etc. - But I believe that with the use of something like unreal engine + something like metahumans would be really awesome.

• I'm talking realistic expressions, and voice for an immersive chatting experience--tailored to any user's needs and specifications.

The combination of visual, and auditory elements could foster an intuitive, and engaging platform--or some type--for storytelling, learning, or simply exploring the realms of creative conversation.

• It carries the potential to aid in the understanding of complex topics, through multimodal presentation, - the visual expressions with aural clarity. - Not only so, but it would also revolutionize AI as we know it, not just in the realm of immersion, but in providing accessibility for people out there--say, with disabilities, for example.

Now, I am only a visionary. I am not gifted to take on a project like this, unfortunately...but I could try to help in any way I could.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi!

My name is Will and I have been a software engineer for about 6 years now.

I love every bit of programming and solving problems using code. I have recently been focused on building sites using the Next framework and finding ways to build highly optimized sites for local businesses. On the side, I have been working on a few SAAS projects for fun.

I joined this platform to stay connected with the programming community and to contribute where I am needed!
