[Leo]

Hey everyone
I’m Leo, UX designer with 15 years of experience and a big focus on building things that actually help people.

Most of my career has been about solving problems through design, from startups to bigger orgs, but becoming a parent shifted how I think about impact. It made me a lot more intentional about what I design and who it’s really serving.

These days, I’m especially interested in building products that are respectful, distraction-free, and useful, especially for families, kids, and educators.

I’m here to connect with others who care about thoughtful design, meaningful projects, and real-world impact. Always happy to chat about UX, side projects, or how to stay creative while raising a tiny human.

cheers,
Leo from Safe Learning Hub

[Keith McWhan]

Hi! I'm Keith. Developer with 30+ years experience (yes I'm an old git).

Been developing with Java for at least 20 years also Objective-C, C/C++, Pascal (Delphi and FPC), PHP, PERL, JavaScript, CSS and HTML. Love learning new skills and languages.

Pleased to meet you all!

[Cat Young]

Welcome, Keith! Sounds like you're the right person to go to for advice and recommendations on learning more in this space! So happy to see you here and I'd love any tips you have as someone who's currently looking for her first role as a junior developer. I worked for 20 years recruiting international students to universities here in the US so it's funny to start fresh in a completely different field. 😁

OLD PROGRAMMERS RULE !!!!

[Markus Glagla]

Hi Keith, nice to meet you. Seems like I am not the only old man around here.

  };

  console.log(`Hi everyone! I’m ${name} ${emoji.wave}`);
  console.log(`I’ve spent the last few years tinkering with side-projects (preAI ${emoji.preAI}) —${skills.join(", ")}—and next week I finally get to launch my first SaaS.`);
  console.log("Excited to step beyond “hobbyist developer” and join dev.to, hoping to find here something that I miss: professional developers I can talk to.");

  console.log("\n🔍 Searching for professional devs...");
  // Simulate async search
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log("⚠️ 404: Professional developers not found. Redirecting to dev.to chats 🍻");
      resolve();
    }, 1000);
  });
}

// Run it!
introduceNiko().then(() => console.log("\n🚀 Launch party starts next week!"));
