Drew Taylor

Hello everyone!

My name is Drew - just wanted to introduce myself, as I am new to the community but, so far, I really like the vibes here. I am a blockchain and fullstack developer for several companies (notably: Greenstream Networks Inc., Tradestar, and PotCoin) in addition to running my own web development and blockchain firm (called Infinite Internet). I've worked as a professional developer for 7 years now, and got my start working in big data solutions and ERP management systems.

Outside of development, I spend a lot of time touring and working on music. In case anyone is curious, here's a music video for my band: youtube.com/watch?v=qfbDG6VTpJc

Hi all.

Here is a link to my First Post on DEV

I will slowly build my profile and posts in the coming weeks on months. They will be mostly technical and / or my troubles with thinking machines.

Blockchains are my Hobby. Coding is my Future. Hacking is my Present. Troubleshooting is my Past.

Hello everyone. I'm Yasha.

I like sushi, beer, BF1, long boarding, playing Pokemon Go... But above all, I like creating new things that I often think of. I started a company while still in university. Since then, I worked with many different clients. I most often use JavaScript (react, node) and Swift.

My goal for the next couple of years is to get more into machine learning. There are many complex problems that could be solved using ML.

Ah, also.. i've been wanting to start writing dev posts.. Maybe one day 🙏

What language do you think you'll explore machine learning in?

Most likely Python. There are great frameworks/libraries for ML for Python (TensorFlow, PyTorch). But I'm yet to try out R. Looks fairly simple to jump into. Also, since Apple release Core ML for iOS and macOS, it might be worth while to integrate some ML features into apps.. There are many possibilities. But I think I'll start with Python 🐍

Diego S. Costa

Hi everyone, I'm Diego.

I come from Brazil, my English is rusty and a little bit worse than a five years old child, but I don't care anyway. Despite that, I'm a newbie in Java programming with two years of experience. I started to write a blog at the beginning of this year to help me practice and share my skills and knowledge. Right now I'm focusing on my attention on mobile development. I'm using Linux and Hackintosh, I usually to switch on between these OS all the time, sometimes in iOS programming and other times in Linux programming in Android and Java. I play guitar, and I've started to play with a loop pedal.

That's it!

Hello! I'm Pam, an engineer in the DC area with a background in architecture and design. I currently work in media coding in Ruby, Rails, and lots of Vanilla.js. I'll be moving from revenue work to systems engineering in a bit and I'm pretty excited about that! Advice from other systems engineers is always appreciated as I thread these new waters.

In my free time, I run an organization called Color Coded which is all about inclusivity and learning new skills in tech. Besides that, I'm working on learning some React and React Native for side projects and try to do a challenge daily on Exercism

Excited to be here!

Welcome, Pamela! Color Coded looks like an amazing organization. Please let me know once some Merch is available :)

Don't hesitate to start a #discuss thread to spur some conversation around systems engineering topics, and be sure to share the knowledge as you continue learning React / React Native.

Happy to have you here!

Hello everyone, i’m Ciprian.
I’ve been coding for 7 months in Javascript and AngularJS and the front end markup languages, I just landed my first job at Cognizant Technology Solutions as a developer. Very excited to start a Dev forum to learn more, really trying to get connected to the community and seek wisdom from the experienced developers out there and learn with the beginners like me.
