Hey, I’m Seth

I’m a senior software engineer and AI automation nerd in Dallas, TX.

I build stuff like LLM agents, prompt systems, and productivity tools in Python and TypeScript.

Right now I’m digging into agent evals, making MCP tools safer, playing with NVIDIA Parakeet for real-time speech recognition, and messing around with Next.js 15.

I like sharing things that actually ship and save time.

Open to collaboration on

  • Agent design
  • Improving RAG results
  • Making AI work better in the browser

Need a second set of eyes on prompts, evals, or safety rules? Tag me.

📡 Connect with me:

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m Ayo, a Cloud Engineer from London, UK, who is passionate about cloud and software engineering.

For context, I have achieved the following AWS certifications 😅:

  • AWS Certified SysOps Administrator — Associate (SOA-C02)
  • AWS Certified Developer — Associate (DVA-C02)
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect — Associate (SAA-C03)
  • AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02)

Whether you want to learn more about the cloud, are starting your cloud journey, or are looking to deepen your AWS knowledge, I have written a few articles here to make topics surrounding the cloud a bit more understandable.

I hope that by sharing how I’ve approached various concepts and AWS services, you’ll find valuable takeaways for your own personal growth and development.

Aaaaand lastly, if you are interested in collaborating or connecting with me further, please reach out via the following platforms:

  • linkedin.com/in/ayomeshe/
  • github.com/Meshclan1

Look forward to writing some more interesting articles for you guys - keep an eye out!

Hi Bruno, thanks :) ! I highly recommend Stephane Maarek's AWS courses on Udemy. They're highly detailed and a very good place to start.

Hey everyone 👋
I’m Dan (Daniele) from Milan. B2B SaaS marketing director who codes (JS/PHP). Lately I’m digging into AI orchestration/MLOps and trying to level up my ops mindset.

What I’m exploring: runtime routing, observability/telemetry, and cost control for LLM apps.
Question: what’s one practice that saved you the most time in production?

Fun fact: dad of two girls, one pitbull who thinks he’s a lapdog, and Nina & Nala the cats 🐈‍⬛ 😸

Happy to be here—see you in the comments, and I’ll be back next week to welcome the new folks!

Hi Everyone!! 🖐
I m k4rkie , I'm a newbie programmer trying to learn web dev and mostly backend.

I'm a CS student and the idea of building software just fascinates me. So I m trying to become somewhat good at it. I have currently just started my backend journey after spending some time understanding the frontend with the basics of HTML, CSS and JS. I have decided to use Node as i had already learnt the basics of JS.
I decided to join dev.to so i can get more into the community of like minded individuals and learn more about the field.

Hope to learn something new here and excited for the coming future🤞

Hi, I'm Don.

Completely new to AI. No experience in coding, prompts, etc., so I'm always looking for tutorials and mentors.

Currently a program manager for the DoD, which is always behind when it comes to emerging technologies. But now I'm looking to retire and invest my time in my interest in AI.

👋🏽 Hi, I'm Betty Musari

I’m an aspiring DevOps & Cloud Engineer making an exciting transition from a Food Technology background into the world of cloud, automation, and infrastructure.

🔧 What I’m Working On

I’m passionate about AWS, Docker, ECS, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools, and I enjoy documenting my learning journey through hands-on projects. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with containerization, ECS (Fargate), and load balancers — and I’ll be sharing guides, tips, and lessons learned here.

🌱 Why I’m Here

Beyond the tech, I believe in community learning — sharing what I know, learning from others, and growing together. 🚀

🤝 Let’s Connect

I’m looking forward to connecting with like-minded engineers, swapping ideas, and contributing to the DevOps knowledge base here on Dev.to. 🙌🏽
