Hello World!

My name is Travis Craft and I'm a generalist full stack software engineer. My experience has revolved around .NET and AWS using agile practices (such as Scrum, SAFe, and Kanban).

I like using SOLID principles and functional concepts to write clean code, and I learn a little more about software engineering each day as I work toward Microsoft and AWS certifications.

Other interests include XP practices, iteration and collaboration, emerging AI patterns such as RAG and MCP, event source systems, and domain-driven design.

I run a software engineering Meetup group in my community. We hold presentations, lightning talks and have an ongoing book club. We also have monthly lunch meetings.

Apart from software I practice Aikido and study Japanese using Duolingo and have a recurring language exchange with a friend in Tokyo.

Meetup

In the Fall of 2017 I happened to learn about the SOLID principles and Clean Code at a meetup in San Franscico. I was looking for ways to grow as an engineer and this was just what I was looking for. I started lunch and learn meetings at work twice a week and then decided to start a meetup group as well.

Check out what we're doing next following the link below. We have a GitHub page as well.
