I am a lifelong learner, creator, explorer, and tinkerer.
This is a collection of my experiences.

I turn early-stage ideas
into working prototypes.

I work fast, learn fast, and deliver.
Software, hardware, design - whatever the idea needs.

Testimonials

When you have a difficult problem, something you are not sure is even possible, Travis will dive right in and start trying things out. He'll figure out the possible approaches and eventually get it all working, despite the setbacks and the obstacles out of his control.Van, Staff Software Engineer
Travis is a builder. I'm impressed with his depth in so many subjects, from electronics to photography to woodworking to software. He's a learner -- constantly curious and always tackling new subjects.Matt, Head of Architecture
Travis is an incredible full-stack engineer. He can take large complex projects and break them down into tractable pieces and work with a team to get the project done. He has excellent product intuition, balanced with a healthy sense of what makes engineering teams efficient. He's also a huge catalyst to build a strong culture around collaboration and strong teamwork. An incredible asset to any engineering team!Daniel, CTO
Travis is the kind of engineer who never backs down from a challenge, cares about craft, and truly wants to build the best possible product. Collaborating with Travis feels like anything is possible because of his strong will to tinker and figure things out.Ian, Staff Product Designer

What I Do

I build across the stack: full-stack apps, embedded systems, hardware interfaces, and design. I've built MVPs, production apps, and personal experiments. All of the projects below have been fully managed, researched, designed, and engineered by myself. Historically, I've consulted with stealth-mode startups, so I'm unable to share that work here.
