One thing about me is that I love to learn and share knowledge within the community. Presented at my first virtual meetup this year with developers from all over the world, talking about all things Search and RAG applications. I loved the engagement and it was a lot of fun. #buildinpublic

Ask me anything about diversity in tech #buildinpublic #ama

Finally happy with the basic user management and onboarding flow I’ve been building over the past number of weeks for asem! Now putting in place some final security measures! The cyber attacks on DeepSeek is a gentle reminder to keep security in mind when building your MVP! #buildinpublic

30mins! That’s the amount of time it took me to onboard a local cake business onto asemlocal.com. I am getting close to automating this whole process so I can open it up to more amazing small businesses for locals to discover! #smallbusiness #supportlocal

Now this story telling is very well done. How did it make me feel comfortable chilling in the bad guy’s neighbourhood ? 😅 #virtualphotography #gaming

Keen to know if you’re leveraging GenAI in your product. What’s been your experience ? #buildinpublic

These Zuckerberg memes are getting out of hand 🤣 Has any social platform really cracked moderation effectively that can satisfy 3 billion+ people ?

I want to finish the main story but I keep getting distracted by the art and side missions #virtualphotography #gaming

I too would like to know because SEO has been an after thought for me so far. I’ve just been focused on trying to build something valuable that people will organically share around, but I’m starting to learn from folks on BlueSky that there’s another game to be played.

I’m constantly battling between building the minimum features and the fully rich experience 😭 This user management flow has been a headache! It’s one I want to get right because I too love a smooth onboarding experience. #buildinpublic

Love to see more people on our walking track this time of the year! I think to myself: I might not see you again in a couple of weeks, but the fact that you’ve made an effort is a win in my books! Reminder to carve out time to take care of yourself✌🏿

#buildinpublic which SMTP email service would you recommend in 2025 ? Looking to hook one up for my signup flow 🙏🏿

Ok this story just got a little interesting! Shoutout to the voice actors on this one! #virtualphotography

Our community showed up to welcome the New Year! 🎆 Drop your flag if you’re already in 2025! I know a number of people are still lagging behind 🤣

Happy New Year to all of you on BlueSky!! 🥳 🎆 2025 let’s get it!

My 2024 highlights with no restrictions to a niche! Number 3: Reef wonders Toured the Great Barrier Reef and learned that marine plants produce more oxygen than the Amazon rainforest 🤯 The waters are out of this world! I’m now on a side mission to learn to scuba dive 🤿

My 2024 highlights with no restrictions to a niche! Number 2: Four Continents, One Team I met my team for the first time in Prague and it was a blast! I work for a remote-first company. If I ever build a startup, it’ll probably be remote first, only because I’ve experienced it done really well.

After spending some time in the arena, I’ve come to appreciate the combat mechanics even more! I feel the story is at its dull point at the moment so hoping it picks up soon! #virtualphotography

Is buying a website domain name an investment ? The numbers I’m hearing are crazy!

Turns out negotiating for an existing domain name requires a minimum offer of $10K USD ?!! 🤯 Let me find out my nearest Squid Game drop off point. #buildinpublic

Is anyone else not seeing the trending topics feature ? Starting to think it’s region based.

My 2024 highlights with no restrictions to a niche! Number 1: Stepping into the Spotlight Earlier in the year, I entertained the masses with smooth dance moves, sharing a style that is underrepresented on my side of the planet. Hard work, but I learned so much about putting myself out there.
