I really enjoyed the variety of working with several different customers every day, on different problems, and being part of an extremely innovative and fast growing company.

It took ideas from Nanoc and pushed them even further with two significant innovations: Front matter. Twitch developer documentation hosted on AWS, edited on CloudCannon. Online, and live.

Last week, I wrote a blog about helping the machine learning scientist community select the right deep learning framework from among many we support on AWS such as MxNet, TensorFlow, Caffe, etc. Developers can build, test, and deploy chatbots directly from the AWS Management Console.
