I have been an active member of the dev.to community for a while now, and I have to say, I absolutely love the articles developers share here. Even with nearly 7 years of experience under my belt, I find myself learning something new every time I visit the site.

Oh, and before I get carried away—Hi! I am Ravin 😁, a software engineer with a passion for crafting beautiful designs and websites. Lately, I have started writing on dev.to weekly, sharing my experiences while soaking up wisdom from this amazing community.

Hey Ryo! 👋

I’m Carlos Azurmendi, and I’m on the journey to becoming an AI SaaS startup founder. I’ve got a real passion for AI, full stack development, and everything tech-related. It’s awesome to meet you! Your experiences living in four different countries sound incredible—what a unique perspective that must give you!

Welcome to the dev.to community! As someone who’s also diving into full stack development, I totally get how thrilling (and sometimes a bit daunting) the beginner stage can be. Studying math and computer science at Waterloo is such a solid foundation, and you’re definitely on the right track.

I really encourage you to stay engaged in the community—share your progress, ask questions, and don’t be shy about joining discussions. This place is super supportive, and it’s a great environment to learn, grow, and connect with others who are just as passionate as you are.

If you ever want to chat about coding, AI, or even the philosophical aspects of technology, just reach out! Keep pushing forward, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll create and contribute here! 🚀

Cheers,

Carlos

Hello, i am a fullstack developer, I mainly use TypeScript, React, Postgres and Node/Express for my projects.
Recently I have started exploring DevOps and low level languages such as C, C++, Rust and Go for my future job in tech. I have been lurking this website because it has great tutorials, but finally I have created an account because I was in dire need for a community of developers!

I have already written a few articles on my personal portfolio as part of a blogging platform project I wanted to do, but I can share them here as well. I hope to write and interact with other developers regularly
