Profile: https://flows.cv/traviscory

As a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead at Indigo, I collaborated with product, design, and key stakeholders to deliver scalable and robust solutions that enable various user personas across multiple brands to participate in our programs in a self-service fashion. I integrated with multiple disparate services within the company and process thousands of farmer fields from various data sources to increase user profitability and brand engagement.

With over 10 years of experience in Software Engineering, I have acquired expertise in JS/TS, React, Python, Java and other frameworks on the front and backend that help me provide business solutions by thinking outside the box and learning new technologies. I have also co-led the frontend consulting group at Liferay, Inc., where I mentored junior devs and implemented custom end-to-end solutions for clients from different sectors. I am proficient at working on distributed teams across time zones and resolving production issues quickly and effectively. I am outgoing and detail-oriented, and I strive to build and maintain professional relationships with my colleagues and clients.

I'm excited for the next opportunity!
