Empowering Inclusivity with GenAI to Transforms Visitor Attractions

In an era where technology and innovation are redefining the boundaries of accessibility and inclusivity, I have been utilising GenAI to reshape the landscape of visitor attractions worldwide.

We had a vision to make visitor attractions as inclusive as possible, removing language and accessibility barrier. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we embarked on a mission to ensure that our application could be interacted with in any language. To truly embrace inclusivity, we aimed to extend our reach to the blind community. Enter GenAI's Text-to-Speech capabilities, which opened a whole new realm of possibilities.

In this talk I will cover some of the challenges we faced, how we decided what tools to use and our plans to evolve this in the future.

Step Up Your Game - Simplifying Complex Workflows with AWS Step Functions

In the ever-evolving world of serverless architecture, managing complex systems can become a daunting task. Without proper management, dependencies between services such as lambdas can create bottlenecks and reduce efficiency. Throughout this talk I will walk through a real-world example of how we transformed a collection of lambdas that had growing complexity and dependencies on each other, with the use of AWS Step Functions. I will dive into the challenges we faced as our service grew and explore how we harnessed Step Functions to build better workflows, removing bottlenecks and streamlining the development process. Managing our serverless event orchestrations this way, has allowed us to isolate these services further from the rest of our product, opening up new business opportunities through the AWS Marketplace!
