#KindnessByPost (https://www.twine.net/signin are a charity helping to combat loneliness. They run Exchanges four time s a year where they match participant randomly for them to send cards or letters to eachother - you could say, ‘An organised act of kindness’.

The Exchange itself is run by a web application using React (Javascript and Typescript) at the front end, AWS Lambdas written in Javascript and Go at the backend with AWS DynamoDB, and AWS Congnito for the user database. The application is deployed using Terraform orchestrated by GitHub actions and hosted in an S3 bucket with AWS CloudFront across the front.

One of the Directors asked if I would take on support of the web application as athe company that built it were wanting to hand it back to the charity. I took on the support, signioicant updates including new features and respoi=nsibility for technical direction of the charity.
