Hey! I'm Ilya, based in Thailand πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­

Been building consumer products for about 5 years. Started with mobile apps, ended up deep in AI agents. Somewhere along the way I realized I'd stopped writing most of the code β€” agents were doing it. Then I stopped writing most of the copy. Then the ad campaigns. Then the trades.

Now I run a small venture studio where four AI agents basically operate the business while I figure out what to build next. It's a weird feeling β€” somewhere between liberating and slightly existential.

Currently obsessed with one question: what happens when you give an AI agent a real budget and just let it run? Not a tool. An entity with money and a goal.

Hey everyone! I'm Eastra, working in ops at an early-stage SaaS team building QCCBot Cloud Phone β€” a cloud-based Android infrastructure platform with AI Agent integration. Exploring how AI can act inside real mobile environments, not just browsers. Here to learn, share, and connect with builders thinking about automation and cloud infrastructure. Happy to be here! πŸ™Œ

Hi! πŸ‘‹

I'm Kristin from Israel β€” trader by day, builder by night. Just published my first article about building an AI trading ecosystem with Claude and MCP. No coding background, all built with AI assistance in 28 days.

Excited to be here and learn from everyone!

GM everyone! πŸ‘‹

I'm Valentin, a Data & AI Consultant working remotely from Tbilisi, Georgia. I joined this community to share what I learn, connect with builders, and give back to the dev ecosystem that helped me get started.

I focus on helping companies make sense of their data and integrate AI into their operations, data strategy, dashboards, generative AI, and process automation. My stack: Python, SQL, BigQuery, LangChain, n8n, and whatever gets the job done.

Before going independent, I was a Business Analyst at Teleperformance on a Google project building dashboards, automating reporting (saved 10h/week of manual work), and digging into sales data. That's where I learned that the best data work is the kind that makes people's jobs easier.

I usually write about practical data & AI topics: real-world automation, LLM integration, and lessons learned from consulting. No fluff, just stuff that works.

Always happy to chat about Python, data pipelines, AI strategy, or the freelance life feel free to say hi!

Fun fact: I discovered data during the 2020 lockdown through a French live stream and never looked back πŸš€

GM Valentin! Your profile reads like a lot of overlap with what I'm working on β€” Python, automation, making people's jobs easier. I'm building an open-source CLI called Folder Intelligence that reads actual file content (PDFs, Word docs, images via OCR) and renames/organizes them intelligently, no cloud AI required. The "automation that saves 10h/week" framing resonates a lot β€” that's exactly how I think about CLI tooling. Would love to see what you write about LangChain and n8n workflows β€” following you now. Feel free to check out my post here if you're curious about the file intelligence angle: dev.to/sam_jha_054aa0cbf7a190601

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

I’m an AI SEO specialist and Web Development expert. I joined this community to connect with like-minded people, share insights, and learn from others in the space.

I usually focus on breaking down SEO strategies, comparing different companies, and highlighting top-performing agencies that are genuinely delivering results for their clients. I love analyzing what works (and what doesn’t) in real-world projects.

Always happy to discuss AI in SEO, website performance, or growth strategies so feel free to say hi or ask anything!

Fun fact: I enjoy digging into competitor strategies more than watching Netflix πŸ˜„

Welcome everyone joining this week! πŸ‘‹

I'm Sam β€” a Python developer from India building open-source CLI tools. My current project is Folder Intelligence, a tool that reads the actual content of your files (PDFs, Word docs, images via OCR) and organizes them intelligently β€” no AI models needed, runs 100% offline.

Always happy to connect with folks working on Python, productivity tools, CLI development, or open-source projects. Drop a comment if you're building something similar β€” would love to exchange notes!

Hey everyone I'm Joel, a recently laid off full-stack senior software engineer. I've most recently worked in event-driven and back-end cloud microservices systems in Go, as well as some front-end apps in TypeScript with Angular and React, in addition some Python. Prior to that I did lots of C# .NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript and T-SQL for many years. I study and practice with Rust periodically on the side when time allows. I'm very interested in Rust again while I think I have the time and also continuing with Go. I actually jumped in here to leave a comment on an article about CachyOS which I've recently moved to, but thought I would fill out my profile and introduce myself while I'm here. Fun fact: I'm also a seasoned drummer and somewhat novice guitarist.

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹
I’m Remus, a DevOps engineer by day, Vibe Coder by night, after kids go to bed πŸ˜„.
I spent years building complex pipelines, so now I’m obsessed with building fast at the edge. Just launched StackAnchor.net β€”a $0/mo domain audit engine built on Cloudflare Free tier.

Excited to be part of the community!
