Travis's Biography

With over ten years of experience in web development, Travis (or "Shiny T" as we affectionately know him, and as you can know him too if you're willing to sit through the backstory) brings a great deal of technical expertise to our dev department. He also brings a solid T-shirt collection and an iTunes share full of some great comedy albums, but you probably don't care about that as much.

Travis received a bachelor's degree in Business Information Systems from the University of West Georgia in 2003, and earned a master's degree in Internet Technology in 2007. That's right, he's a Master -- since he's been with us, Travis has mastered some of our largest, trickiest applications in record time. (And by record time, we mean on budget. Which is the best record.)

Travis is an avowed Rubyist, a CSS ninja, a trivia champion, an advocate for Chick-Fil-A milkshakes, and an Uno Mastermind that can only be defeated by group abuse.

Tools That Make My Job Easier

Bash Aliases

Working on a Mac, I spend a lot of my time in Terminal (the command-line utility). This is where I do all of my interaction with my local databases, the central Subversion repository, and issue various system commands. Some of these commands can get quite long and are time consuming to type out. That’s where aliases come to the rescue!
