Welcome Thread - v 396

Hey everyone. Hope you guys are doing well!

As mention in the last welcome thread, I am waiting to fully introduce myself on "Welcome Thread v400". @javz 4 more weeks to go :D

With that said, welcome everyone to DEV. What brings you here today?

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Raza from Pakistan. I'm learning web development by building small, useful web tools.

I recently built a free browser-based image compressor for JPG, PNG, and WebP images. I'm here to learn from other developers, share what I build, and improve my projects through community feedback.

Happy to be part of DEV! 🚀

Great to be here! I’m interested in fintech, financial data, web development and practical tools that make complex information easier to understand. Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing some of my own projects and experiences as well.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a security-focused engineer and researcher from Japan.

I’m currently working on incident analysis, defensive security, AI-assisted engineering workflows, and technical documentation. A lot of my work is about turning messy real-world evidence into something reproducible, reviewable, and useful for other practitioners.

I’ve also started publishing some of that work on DEV and on my site, OSIIX.com.

Recently, I’ve been writing about topics such as cyber recovery, security engineering, AI workflow reliability, and lessons learned from real incident analysis.

Looking forward to learning from the community and exchanging ideas with people working in security, infrastructure, AI engineering, and reliability.

Nice to meet you all!

Welcome to any news members!

Hi everyone 👋 I'm Hiroki (@nomunomu0504), a developer from Japan.

I'm building Forecall (forecall.dev): a small open-source linter that scores the tool descriptions of MCP servers — the text an AI agent reads when it decides which tool to call. It started as a study of 46 public servers on Smithery and grew into npx forecall lint and a site.

What I'm learning right now: a lint score tells you what's written, not what a model will do. I measured it this week and had to walk back a claim in a Chrome DevTools MCP issue. Humbling, and the best lesson so far.

Glad to be here. If you run an MCP server, I'd love to hear what you'd want a linter to catch.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m a content writer and SEO specialist interested in web development, AI tools, automation, and digital publishing. I’m currently exploring new ways to combine technology with useful content and improve web workflows. Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from the community!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m an IT enthusiast from Kenya. I joined this community to learn, build, and connect with people who are exploring technology.

I’m currently learning more about web development, AI, and cybersecurity. I’m also interested in building useful products and explaining technology in a simple, practical way.

Fun fact: I can spend hours thinking about a tech idea before writing the first line of code 😂

Looking forward to learning from you all and connecting with other people who enjoy building with technology.

Hi there !! I am a Software Engineer currently working on financial services for 10+ countries. Kinda feel bored doing the same stuff so by night time I activate my bat coder mode and I hop into dev communities.
I am professionally a Java Spring Fintech guy.... But I keep an eye out for Low level systems, OS, IOT , AI systems , and cloud architechture.

Hey everyone! I'm Abdullah, a BS Data Science student at UET Lahore 👋

I just built and deployed my first end-to-end data project — a pipeline that collects
daily weather forecasts, compares them to what actually happened, and models how
forecast accuracy changes by lead time and city. Python, PostgreSQL, GitHub Actions,
and a live Streamlit dashboard.

Wrote up what I found here: See my article

Excited to learn from this community and keep building. Open to any feedback on the project or tips for someone starting out in data science!
