Paul R Roberts

I'm a full stack JavaScript senior software engineer. I began my career making beautiful things with HTML and CSS. I spent some time at a small start up that went under doing PHP as well building the full front-end to back end. I have spent most of my career in ECommerce for MLMs.
I am currently a member of my companies Platform Innovation team. I have to main roles:
- Maintaining our Internal Developer Portal
- Gen AI research and architecture
Developer Portal
The internal developer portal is where we provide information about the different applications, APIs, SDKs, and IaCs we have built in house. We also provide documentation on coding standards and processes like commit message standards and code branching practices. We also have a Gen AI chatbot that uses Amazon Bedrock for asking questions about the information in the developer portal. More information can be found here.
Gen AI Chatbot
Most of my work with AI has been around a couple of AI chatbots. The first I mentioned in the internal developer portal. The second is a kind of general use internal chatbot available for employee use. This chatbot uses a Amazon Bedrock Agents, knowledge bases, and AWS Lambda with a NextJS front end applications. More information can be found here as well as in blog posts.
