Twilio
Building innovative communication tools and developer experiences with Twilio's APIs. Created hackathon projects and developer resources that showcase the power of programmable communications.
Custom hardware hackpack combining IoT sensors with Twilio communication APIs
Project Overview
Twilio empowers developers to build the future of communications with powerful APIs for voice, video, messaging, and more. I created innovative hackpack projects that demonstrate creative applications of Twilio's communication platform.
Key Contributions
- Designed and built physical hackpack combining hardware with Twilio APIs
- Created educational resources for developer community workshops
- Developed proof-of-concept IoT communication projects
- Built interactive demos showcasing SMS, voice, and video capabilities
- Contributed to open-source Twilio SDK examples and documentation
- Led hackathon workshops teaching developers communication API integration
Technical Implementation
Hardware Integration
Custom PCB design with integrated sensors, LED displays, and wireless connectivity. Seamlessly interfaces with Twilio APIs for real-world communication triggers.
API Integration
Utilized Twilio's REST APIs for SMS, Voice, and Video communication. Implemented webhook endpoints for real-time event processing and response.
Developer Experience
Created comprehensive setup guides, code examples, and interactive tutorials to help developers quickly prototype communication-enabled applications.
Hackpack Features
