Global religious organization modernizing digital publishing and community engagement
The First Church of Christ, Scientist operates a multi-faceted publishing and community mission from Boston, with a tech footprint spanning AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway), modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, TypeScript), and Jitterbit for integration — suggesting infrastructure scaled for content distribution and API orchestration. Active projects center on social media strategy, analytics for communication effectiveness, and modernizing legacy workflows, while pain points surface security compliance, cross-cloud integration friction, and misinformation management.
