Summary

Twilio's DOer of the Month feature profiles a developer or company that is using Twilio in innovative ways. The featured developer, Mike Turner, co-founded an IT company called TurnKey IT Solutions and created Staff Guardian, a tool for lone workers to send SOS alerts to their managers via Twilio. Mike Turner was inspired to start coding at the age of 11 and has been working with Twilio since 2012, integrating its technology into his project Staff Guardian. The tool uses Twilio's say verb to automatically call and text the manager, providing a vital service for lone workers who work overnight shifts or alone.
