- Developed TypeScript AWS Lambdas for a Twilio Flex call center upgrade, achieving zero downtime during migration, enhancing control and efficiency, and facilitating work routing for hundreds of agents integrated seamlessly with our own workflows. Worked with DynamoDB and AWS SQS.- Created a robust Terraform infrastructure as code resource to make sure our Twilio integration could be recovered, duplicated, and deployed with confidence.- Implemented a complex branching Amazon Lex chatbot from scratch using AWS Lambdas.
