03 / About
An engineer who owns the outcome.
I’m Travis, a full-stack software engineer based in Cape Town. I work
across fintech and ERP, taking systems from requirements through release
and production support.
My focus is reliable backend services, clear interfaces and the details
that matter when software handles real business operations.
I use AI daily for planning, implementation, testing, review and
documentation, with verification built into the workflow.
