Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Viacheslav — I build ViBo, memory infrastructure for AI agents: semantic recall across sessions, up to 50–150× token savings, anti-hallucination verification, and memory security (snapshot + poison-scan against prompt injection). I spend my days in the agent-tooling space — shipping open-source skills and testing community ones. Happy to help newcomers: ask me anything about agent memory, prompt-injection defense, or building your first agent skill. Welcome! 🚀

Hey everyone! I’m Andrii, a developer with 15+ years of experience, mostly working with TypeScript, JavaScript, WebGL, and HTML5 game development.

I joined DEV.to to learn from other developers, explore new ideas, and share some of the things I’m building. Lately I’ve been experimenting with game engines, visual editors, AI-assisted development, and some pretty weird simulations.

Fun fact: I can spend an unreasonable amount of time turning a “small weekend project” into a full-blown engine.

Looking forward to discovering what everyone here is building!

BootSaaS

Hello, I'm a software engineer focused on web development, particularly Java and Spring Boot.

I've worked across different areas of software development, from Android and embedded systems to web applications. Over time, I found myself particularly drawn to building enterprise-grade web apps and SaaS products.

While working on these projects, I noticed that many of them share the same foundations, such as authentication, security, infrastructure, multi-tenancy, and all the other plumbing that needs to be in place before building the actual product.

That observation led me to build my own Spring Boot & Angular boilerplate, BootSaaS, while also exploring better ways to build and structure software.

Here on DEV, I hope to share what I learn, build, and discover along the way. Looking forward to learning from the community as well!

Hi, everyone. I'm COO at Raxis, a US pentesting company. Many moons ago I started my career as a Java, Oracle, and web developer at UNC before joining Raxis as a pentester. Now I watch our pentesting team figure out some pretty cool stuff. We have a blog of their tutorials and important updates for IT folks. I'll be reposting some of our blogs for developers here. It's always great to see when folks work security into their SDLC process. It might make for a boring pentest, but that makes us all more secure, right?!
