Maddie Stigler is a professional developer for a consulting firm out of Richmond, Virginia. She is a part of the core team for Women Who Code in Richmond and is involved in many local Microsoft and Amazon meetups. Her interest in cloud computing began while studying computer science at the University of Virginia and has only grown since then. Maddie has maintained a fascination with serverless technology from the start, and has applied principles of serverless design and architecture both in her professional and personal work, including developing a flight status service for travel insurance customers using AWS Lambda and Node.js. Her favorite application to date has been creating Amazon Alexa skills by utilizing Lambda functions written in Node.js and triggering them with the Alexa Skills Kit. Maddie plans to continue pursuing her interest in growing cloud technologies and serverless architecture and share her knowledge so that others can do the same.
