Hello from the Cloud!
I’m Elen Chen, and I’m thrilled to finally join the dev.to community.

I’m a Cloud Architect with a deep love for distributed systems and high-performance code. Most of my days are spent navigating the worlds of Rust and Kubernetes, trying to turn complex infrastructure into something elegant and scalable.

Why I’m here:

  • To share deep-dives into backend architecture.
  • To connect with fellow women in STEM and DevOps.
  • To learn from all the incredible perspectives in this community.

When I’m not debugging microservices, you can usually find me hunting for the perfect cup of coffee or tinkering with open-source projects.

Excited to learn and grow with you all! Let’s build something cool.

Hey everyone! I'm Dan — I work in data infrastructure by day and have been pursuing my interest in AI application development on the side.

It started with building a multi-agent development framework — Specialized AI agents that review each other's work, run retrospectives, and capture decision history. What began as "let me organize my AI workflow" turned into something pretty robust. I've been testing it on an open app project (a Flutter/Dart journaling app) with a lot of success — it's genuinely changed how I build software.

I packaged the framework up as a reusable template and put it out there:

Framework overview (interactive slides): diviner-dojo.github.io/agent_frame...
How-to guide (interactive slides): diviner-dojo.github.io/agent_frame...
GitHub repo: github.com/Diviner-Dojo/agent_fram...

It's all under Diviner Dojo — my open-source home for this kind of work.

Mostly here to learn from what others are building and share what I've picked up. Happy to chat about AI-native dev workflows or anything in between.

I was excited to be part of a new technology trend from the beginning. I work for a large company, and often we are way behind in technology. This was my opportunity to be part of something at the outset. Multi-agent coordination and engineering is new and exciting. One innovation in my framework is that it actually captures agent deliberation as artifacts in the project itself, so it becomes part of the projects memory, so you can trace decisions it makes
That and a bunch of other stuff make this an attractive framework for big companies like the one I work for. Audit traceability will be huge in this space.

Rachit Misra

Hey everyone,

I’m a backend engineer focused on distributed systems and real-world scaling problems.

Most of my learning hasn’t come from textbooks — it’s come from systems breaking:
→ Kafka replays corrupting state

→ cache inconsistencies under load

→ thundering herd during traffic spikes

I like to break things, understand why they broke, and then write about it so others don’t have to learn the hard way.

I’ll be sharing deep dives on:
→ system design (HLD + LLD)

→ distributed systems failures

→ real trade-offs behind “scalable” architectures

If you’re into backend engineering beyond theory — we’ll get along well.

Looking forward to learning and building with this community

Qiu Feng

Hey Francis! Thanks for having me.

I'm currently focused on "local-first" web apps. I use Astro and React for the UI, and Wasm (C++) for processing heavy logic right in the browser. My backend is very lightweight nowadays, usually just Astro SSR or a lean Node.js setup when necessary.

My tip for full-stack? Definitely keep an eye on WebAssembly. It’s not just about bringing heavy logic to the browser and slashing server costs. I think it’ll eventually replace containers for deploying logic everywhere—from servers to IoT. Plus, its sandboxing is probably the real answer to those AI Agent security issues we're seeing.

Hi dev.to! I'm Debbie, and I've spent my career building data pipelines, ETL systems, and data warehouses -- mostly with Python and various SQL databases (SQL Server, Snowflake, Redshift, Oracle, DB2, etc.).

More recently, I've gone deep on agentic AI workflows. I run a consulting practice called Labyrinth Analytics, and I build production systems where specialized AI agents run multi-step processes on schedules, with human review gates at every decision point. Not demos -- actual daily workflows.

Along the way, I built two developer tools I'm excited to share:
LoreConvo gives AI coding agents persistent session memory. It auto-saves what happened in each session and auto-loads relevant context in the next one. If you've ever been frustrated re-explaining your project to Claude Code every morning, this is for you.
LoreDocs is the companion -- structured knowledge management with multi-vault architecture, document versioning, and context injection. Where LoreConvo handles "what happened recently," LoreDocs handles "what's always true about this project."
Both are MCP servers, local-first (SQLite), and free for personal use (BSL 1.1):
LoreConvo on GitHub
LoreDocs on GitHub

I'll be writing about agentic AI patterns, data pipeline architecture, and the tools I'm building. My next post will be a deeper dive into how LoreConvo works under the hood.

Looking forward to being part of this community!

Khalid Attar

Hey DEV community 👋

I'm Khalid, a backend developer from Rabat, Morocco.

I've been building Node.js/NestJS backends for a few years and kept running into the same production problems:

  • N+1 queries that work fine in dev but kill production with real data
  • Synchronous operations blocking the event loop in request handlers
  • Architecture violations that slip through code review
  • AI-generated code (Cursor, Copilot) that looks correct but introduces dangerous patterns

So I built Technical Debt Radar — a PR merge gate that automatically detects and blocks these patterns before they reach production.

Not a linter. Not suggestions. Actual enforcement — the PR physically cannot merge until violations are fixed.

What I've been working on lately:

  • Scanning real open source NestJS repos to validate the tool
  • Found a silent authorization bypass in a 137-star ecommerce repo — a query filtering on a field that doesn't exist in the schema
  • Built radar fix --auto which auto-fixed 47 out of 58 violations on that repo in one command

What I write about:

  • NestJS architecture patterns
  • Node.js performance anti-patterns
  • Technical debt measurement
  • Building dev tools as a solo founder

Looking forward to:

  • Learning from this community
  • Sharing what I find scanning real codebases
  • Connecting with other Node.js/NestJS developers

If you're building Node.js backends and tired of catching the same bugs in code review — let's connect.

What are you all working on? 👇

Hello DEV.to community! First-time poster here.

I’m a developer who loves the sound of mechanical keyboards, especially when I'm working on a quiet laptop. Like many of you, I've used tools for this, but I recently got frustrated with a common trend.

Popular apps for mechanical sound emulation (like Mechvibes) are often built on Electron, easily consuming over 100MB of RAM just to play simple .wav files in the background! As someone who values optimization, that felt like an incredible waste of resources.

So, I decided to build a native solution that’s extremely lightweight. I wanted to share my journey and the result here.

I work with AI coding agents in my day-to-day development, and needed a better way to pass issue context to them — that's what led me to build this. I plan to share posts about ghfs and technical challenges I've run into during development.

Hello, I asked Claude how to promote articles on my blog, and it brought me here haha. I'm a Front End Dev working at qantas.com.au, an Australian airline, and I write programming articles on my blog, steveharrison.dev in my spare time.

Loving the new age of AI-assisted learning: I skipped CompSci and Uni, so have been doing a bit of LeetCode and using Claude to walk me through solutions—it's so good! The other day, it built me an interactive component where I could increment i and see how the state changed throughout the Daily Temperatures problem.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi,
I am Adi, a recent graduate and currently a Rust and Solidity engineer at garden.finance. Been a long time reader, but now that i feel confident enough to give back to the community, I recently signed up.
Just put out my very first post x * y = k, and Other Things I Should've Learned Sooner, and since this is just a testing the waters phase for me, any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
But apart from that, I am actually excited to finally grow from a lurker to an active participant in the community and would love to have a casual convo, be it tech or anything else the community finds interesting.

Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Dicon, a Hospital IT Architect and indie dev logging in from Japan. 🇯🇵

I joined DEV because I've been looking for a community that values technical deep dives and building in public. Seeing the discussions here about AI workflows and local-first architecture is exactly why I wanted to be here!

My focus is heavily on data privacy. In fact, I just published my very first post showcasing a "local-first" Obsidian-to-AI suite I built. It allows power users to safely feed complex vaults to LLMs without cloud risks.
(Fun fact: It was rigorously tested by my chief QA engineer—my Shiba, Maru 🐕🌸).

You can check out my first post and the backstory here:

I'm always happy to chat about system architecture, privacy-first development, or Obsidian workflows. Looking forward to learning from all the incredible perspectives in this community. Let’s build something cool! ✨

Hey everyone 👋

I’m currently working with an NVIDIA Jetson AGX 64GB, focusing on building fully local AI solutions for small businesses. My work revolves around implementing LLM-based systems such as RAG pipelines, autonomous agents, and end-to-end AI workflows that run entirely on local infrastructure (no cloud dependency).

I’m especially interested in optimizing performance on edge hardware, designing efficient retrieval architectures, and making AI deployments practical and cost-effective for real-world use cases.

On top of that, I’m writing a technical book on mastering the Jetson AGX 64GB—covering everything from setup and optimization to deploying production-grade local AI systems.

Looking forward to learning from the community and exchanging ideas 🚀

After a decade of working on other people's products, I recently shipped my first solo project: an AI-powered QA test management platform. Building the full stack alone (React, Node.js, MongoDB, OpenAI API) felt natural this time around — but the SEO side of a React SPA? That's been its own rabbit hole.

Always happy to talk React, MUI, Node.js, or the chaos of launching a solo SaaS.
