In this episode Dave and Emily chat with Paul Cutsinger, Head of Developer Strategy at Alexa. Paul joined the Alexa team in the very early years, lead the worldwide developer education team, and helped mold the vision for the developer roadmap. In his current role, Paul leads an incubation team working on new ways for customers to interact with Alexa and Voice. Paul discusses how AWS has been a foundation for developers building on Alexa and how simple it is for anyone to get started building their own experiences today.
