Hey, This is Muhammad AbuBaker, I’m currently working as a Senior Software Developer. I design and build full-stack web applications using Laravel (PHP) and React.js. Over the past 4+ years, I have developed and deployed multiple scalable backend systems, RESTful APIs, and microservices — including integrations involving AWS, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. My goal is to strengthen my practical AWS expertise by mastering key services like EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudFormation, and VPC, and to start building hands-on portfolio projects aligned with cloud architecture best practices. I aim to confidently move toward becoming an AWS Solutions Architect and apply cloud-native principles in real-world application deployments.

Hi all, I'm Alberto and I'm the creator of BigConfig.

Hello Everyone — Adrian J (Aj) Herrera here, CMO at Varnish Software. A few years ago, we started seeing some of our larger customers using Varnish in unexpected ways — applying our technology to solve CI/CD performance and complexity challenges, especially those tied to universal repository managers that hit scaling limits, or as a proxy layer to protect backend origins for IDPs. I come from the infrastructure (delivery, cloud, object/S3 and file storage) and product side of the house, but over the past year I’ve worked closely with DevOps and Platform teams who are pushing the boundaries of performance, control, and developer experience. I’m here to learn, connect, and share what we’re seeing at that intersection between platform engineering, data movement, and developer productivity - https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianjherrera/ Also if anyone will be at GitHub Universe tomorrow and wants to meet up DM me. I would love to hear how you are pushing the limits of CI/CD performance or what challenges you are facing.

👋 Hi everyone! I'm Jaganadh Gopinadhan (Jagan) , Engineering Director at Cognizant, based in Mississauga, ON.

👋 Hi everyone! I’m Anita. I’m the CEO at Network Perspective and I spend most of my time researching how developer teams work: how collaboration patterns form, where friction hides, and how we can improve flow and delivery without adding more process. I work with DevEx surveys and network analysis (using both active and passive data) to help teams see what’s actually happening in their day-to-day work — things like deep work time, coordination load, and how people support each other when stuck. I’m especially interested in how AI tools can plug into the measure → act → learn loop to improve productivity and value delivery in a grounded, non-magical way. I’ve been hosting DevEx conversations with engineering leaders at large-scale US tech companies, and recently wrote an article for Platform Engineering. Excited to learn how you all think about DevEx and platform work! https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-zbieg/ https://platformengineering.org/blog/platform-engineering-as-omakase-how-great-teams-develop-taste

Hi everyone, Muneeb here. I am a software/platform engineer at Stakater. I have extensively worked on building, maintaining and releasing Kubernetes operators in Golang and Ansible, primarily on Redhat operatorhub, with side responsibilities as SRE and opensource maintainer (One noticeable project is Reloader). All this enabled me to cover a wide number of tools across the cloud native landscape. In terms of concepts, most of my work is on multi tenancy, e2e cluster component testing and alerting I have recently shifted to the infrastructure team to widen my kubernetes and devops knowledge. I currently spend most of my time writing Crossplane compositions, managing TF modules, Ansible playbooks and being SRE. Would be happy to connect with you all https://www.linkedin.com/in/muneeb-aijaz/

Hey Guys Just wanted to share something I’ve been using (and building) lately — an app that lets you chat with your CloudWatch logs, spin up on-demand dashboards, ask questions, and troubleshoot issues without juggling 10 different tools 😅 all from one single terminal. I've been using it myself and it's been super helpful, imagine all your monitoring and observability shrinks down to one chat window that can help you to troubleshoot issues, analyse logs and create on demand dashboards as well. I basically run my monitoring on autopilot now. Figured I’d share it here in case anyone’s interested. Happy to demo or chat more about it! 🙌 alternatively you can use it yourself at: https://jodmcp.com Thanks!
