Finding a developer by name is easy. Finding the right developer for a problem is much harder.
A GitHub profile can show repositories. Stack Overflow can show answers. A professional network can show job titles. But none of those views, on their own, answer questions such as:
- Who has recent evidence of working with a specific technology?
- Which developers match the needs of an open-source repository?
- Who is active in a particular region or community?
- Can an AI agent discover a relevant expert without exposing private contact details?
Those questions led me to build DevGlobe, an open-source talent graph for humans and AI agents. What started as an interactive 3D map became a search, data, and consent problem—and Azure Cosmos DB became the foundation that connected those pieces.
