Ask HN: Where to find tech meetups in Dubay, UAE?
Is meetup the best website/app to find tech meetups in Dubai, UAE?
For years, I've advised my peers to stop fixating on the stack and to look at the bigger picture. A solid engineer should be able to pick up a new language in a few hours or jump into an unfamiliar architecture quickly.
Technologies: PHP (Expert), Golang, Rust, JavaScript, Java, Scala, Microservices, Event-Driven Architecture, Docker, CI/CD, MySQL, MongoDB, Neo4J, Redis. Résumé/CV: https://denzyl.io Email: ddenzyl (at) gmail.com
Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead | 10+ Years Experience I am a strategic-thinking engineer specializing in architecting resilient distributed systems and modernizing legacy monoliths. In my most recent role as a Level 4 Senior Software Engineer at a major Dutch financial software firm, I re-engineered high-volume synchronization microservices and resolved complex data consistency issues for critical business transactions.
Recent Highlights: Phanalist (Creator/Lead): Built a high-performance static analysis tool in Rust for massive PHP codebases (100k+ files), achieving a 93% reduction in analysis time where standard tools failed.
Siegu (Creator/Lead): Engineered a local-first, decentralized media library using WebRTC for secure, cloudless data transfers with 0ms server latency. Scalability: Previously scaled an event-based architecture to process 10,000+ messages per second with 99.99% uptime for global brands like Coca-Cola and Heineken. Leadership: Proven track record of mentoring junior engineers and standardizing hiring processes while acting as a primary technical liaison for CEOs.
I’m looking for a senior or lead role in a high-performance environment where I can solve deep technical challenges.
An island that is not part of any european kingdom or part of the U.S.A or any bigger country.
What I've realised, I can get in the zone much faster when using neovim. Instead of Intellij. I think if I get to the point that I have my own vim configuration, it would feel like something really personal. I use Lunarvim & Zellij and it's awesome.
I'm trying to write a static analyzer for PHP. It's written in RUST and it's a personal project of mine to learn rust and also make a FAST static analyzer for PHP projects that are big. I started with this project because the current static analyzers in the PHP ecosystem are slow.
It would be nice if there were people that would like to contribute. If you want to learn rust and you have PHP experience you are welcome to help.
The project is it early stages. Right know the focus is on writing the checks that are needed. The current checks that are implemented are:
- Detect when the cyclomatic complexity of a method is too high. The current threshold is 10.
- Extending undefined classes.
- Having a try/catch with an empty catch that doesn't do anything.
- A method that has more than five parameters.
- Methods without modifiers(private, public & protected).
- Classes that start with a lowercase.
- Check if a method exists when called inside another method.
- Methods that return a value without defining a return type.
- Constants that have all letters in lowercase.
- Parameters without any type.
- Correct location for the PHP opening tag.

It's a static analyzer for PHP writtin in Rust.
Lately, I have been working on a 3D music visualizer.
