Hi everyone!
I just decided moving on from Android to Backend development so I joined to start learning the basics and, hopefully in a near future, more advance technologies from the backend world!

[Praveen Kumar]

Hi Everyone! I have been following dev.to long time, but didn't think of having an account. Now that I have, I can contribute to the community!

I am Praveen Kumar Purushothaman. People call me Praveen or PravMan. I am an ailurophile, vegetarian, and an experimental chef. Well, I would like to experiment as much as I can, on food and my life. My body is made up of HTML & CSS, which is literally me! This defines me as a Full Stack Web Developer (Front End, Back End, Middleware, Whatever...). Currently I am working on React JS & Node JS APIs along with my expertise in Front End.

Oh yeah, I am a highly motivated, passionate hard-core web developer with diverse experience in developing web applications, hybrid mobile apps, and cloud computing solutions ranging from working on cute layouts, payment gateways etcetera and the list goes on till making a clone, better than Facebook. Yup, you heard it right. I did make a clone of our favourite social network from scratch.

Once upon a time, I was consistently ranked as top 0.01% developers in Stack Overflow. I stopped contributing much after achieving 100k reputation points and started to contribute more to My Adventures. I am also a Pluralsight Mentor, Thinkful Mentor and a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in the field of Visual Studio & Development Tools.

Hi everyone :)

I was brought here through this fantastic article dev.to/carlymho/lets-make-life-eas... I'm really passionate about accessibility, be it in websites or the workplace.

I'm an engineer at booking.com (more specifically the taxi bit- we used to be a pre-booked taxi company and then got acquired by booking.com- so I can't help with your hotel rooms I'm afraid!)

I've always been a bit nervous about trying to keep up with new developments in tech as the sheer pace feels overwhelming and I'm put off by how massively opinionated developers can be about how their new technology is the One True Way to do things. I don't want to be left behind though, so trying to ease into it more through channels such as this community.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a Full-stack Developer and the Founder of Tueri.io

I started out writing pure HTML/CSS websites in notepad.exe more than 17 years ago (around the age of 12), progressing through PHP/MySQL, SQL Server, and made the transition to React/GraphQL a couple years ago.

It's amazing to see how far things have come since the early days and exciting to imagine where they are going!

[Michaela Greiler]

Hi all,
I analyze and improve software engineering processes and tools for 10 years now (at Microsoft and beyond).

I write about software engineering best practices. Last year, I also started two startups and I am part of the indiehacker community.

Shoot me a message if you want to discuss software engineering related stuff or entrepreneurship.

[Michaela Greiler]

Hi all, I have been analyzing and improving software development processes and tools for the past 10 years at Microsoft and beyond.

Recently, I started blogging about my findings and experience. I'd love to connect with this community and discuss several software engineering aspects with a broader audience.

I also started two startups and I am part of the indiehacker community. And, I work remote for 5 years.

Shoot me a message if you want to talk about software engineering, remote work or starting your own company.

[Raghav Bhandari]

Hi all!

I am an average coder who often needs to look into discussions to solve easy/medium LeetCode problems, and often need video tutorials to perform basic tasks despite the fact I am graduating in Computer Science soon. Here to improve my skills.

I am a socially awkward gamer, who loves watching anime. I would love to create an interesting game some day hopefully. Currently looking into React Native and Mobile App development.

[Cubicle Buddha]

Hi. I have failed so many times at work that I can't even count it anymore... and someone I am happy. I have almost been fired quiet a few times, and every time this happened I learned something incredible. I'm now writing a mindfulness blog about those lessons and how Buddhism helped me to truly accept my brain for what it is. I'm hoping that readers will learn to <3 their life and their job through reading the articles I've got in the queue.

Side note: although the blog is about freedom, I am obsessed with TypeScript and it's structural subtyping (which some would say is about the opposite of freedom: control). I have yet to reconcile that fact. But again, I love my brain for all of it's quirks. Follow along and help me to help you to love your brain too! :)
