Technical Evangelist - Alexa Developer Education

Programmer Writer

Split time between Developer Evangelism of the  Login with Amazon product and  Solutions Architect for the Away Team Improvement Program, with primary focus on the Solutions Architect role.

An Away Team is a self-sufficient team that works on a Host Team's systems to deliver a specific program/project. The program identifies and evangelizes best practices, builds supporting materials, develops training, and provides consultative services, all with an eye to improving the ramp-up, independence, and production efficiency of Away Teams and reduce the burden they put on Host Teams' systems and schedules.

I focused mostly on the "identifies and evangelizes best practices" and "provides consultative services" parts while helping to organize an Away Team focused internal conference.

Technical Evangelist & Solutions Architect

Login with Amazon is a technology that lets your customers log in to your site or app using their Amazon.com credentials, while providing back information like their email address and zip code. It is also a gateway to many of Amazon's public APIs and services, like Amazon Drive and the Alexa Voice Service.

******WHAT DOES A TECHNICAL EVANGELIST DO?******

* Writing: Create "how to" articles, blog posts, video walkthroughs, and marketing collateral to help build and improve developer engagement.

* Coding: Create "wow" demos, libraries, plugins, and code samples to inspire developers to get the maximum benefit from our technology and help them succeed with its implementation.

* Advocacy: Represent developers internally, so that when we do things that will impact current and future members of our developer community, we are planning everything to ensure the best possible developer experience.

* Community Involvement: Get out in the local community and beyond to volunteer, give talks, teach workshops, mentor at hackathons, and lead or help with the organization of impactful tech events. Part of my job is to be highly visible and contribute to the developer community.
