Creator of DaloyJS, speaker, published book author

Devlin Duldulao is the creator of DaloyJS, a software engineer, educator, and published author with 12+ years of experience building and teaching modern web development. Originally from the Philippines and based in Norway since 2019, he writes books and courses for developers who want to ship real, secure systems and takes his Asian home cooking about as seriously as his TypeScript.
Your AI Wrote the API. Who Wrote the Security?
We are shipping backend APIs faster than ever because AI coding models make it trivial, but most of those services go to production with no real security: no rate limiting, no security headers, permissive CORS, open prototype pollution, leaking error responses. At the same time, supply-chain attacks are now the cheap way in. No mainstream Node framework ships these protections on by default, and the one stack with great docs ergonomics (FastAPI) is in Python.
This talk introduces DaloyJS, a TypeScript framework that closes those gaps: FastAPI-style auto-generated API docs from a single route definition, a contract-first design where one route powers validation, types, OpenAPI, a typed client, and tests, and security that is genuinely default-on, including a guardrailed core, first-party auth/CORS/CSRF/rate-limit middleware, and a "refuse to boot" mode that stops the app from starting on unsafe config.
