Paul R Roberts

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with over 11 years of experience building modern web applications and internal platforms. I started on the frontend and have grown into a full-stack engineer comfortable working across UI, APIs, serverless systems, and developer tooling.

My work focuses on improving how teams build and ship software—through better internal tools, shared systems, and thoughtful use of AI.

• Owning and evolving an internal developer portal built with Next.js, React, and Contentstack
• Designing AI-enabled experiences using Amazon Bedrock, knowledge bases, and AWS Lambda
• Bridging frontend usability with backend architecture to build scalable, maintainable systems

What I Work On

• Scalable web applications (React, Next.js)
• Backend APIs and serverless systems (Node.js, AWS Lambda)
• Internal developer platforms and tooling
• Event-driven systems and schema governance
• AI-assisted developer experiences

Featured Work

I focus on building internal products with real users and evolving business needs. Most of my work sits at the intersection of platform engineering, developer experience, and practical AI.

Internal Developer Portal

A central knowledge hub for applications, APIs, SDKs, infrastructure projects, ownership data, and engineering standards. I helped shape it into a practical tool for discovery, documentation, and self-service. More information is available in the case study.

Developer Portal Chatbot

I built a dedicated chatbot experience for the developer portal to help internal users ask questions against engineering content and find answers faster. I am splitting that work into its own case study so I can show the architecture and design thinking more clearly. You can read more here.

Internal AI Chatbot

I have also built a broader internal chatbot experience backed by Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, and a Next.js front end. That work has pushed me deeper into AI architecture, retrieval workflows, and the realities of building useful systems around fast-moving tools. You can read more here and throughout the blog.
