From zero to scale, for individuals, teams, and engineering organizations.

Hello! I'm Travis, and I specialize in building and developing engineering teams and organizations, specifically those who are moving from startup teams and processes to scaled product organizations. I combine a deep technical background with the strategic focus of a senior leader. This perspective allows me to approach every team from multiple angles. Because I create outcomes that satisfy technical leaders and non-technical stakeholders, I also build an engineering culture with high engagement, fast, quality delivery, and replicable processes.

I currently work for Honeycomb Insurance as a Full-Stack Team Lead, where I am building the US Engineering organization and culture from scratch. Before that, I scaled a globally distributed e-commerce engineering team at SteelSeries, where I improved key team metrics and built a high-performing engineering culture.
To keep me sharp and connected to tech, I also build things. Currently I'm exploring a microSaaS project, which I blog about publicly. Check out the first post: "choosing a stack for fun and profit".

I blog regularly about both leadership strategy and deep-dive engineering topics. If you'd like to connect more directly, you can also do so by booking time with me.
