About

Hi, my name is Travis and I am a self-taught software developer of 7 years. I learned to code and stepped out as a full-time freelance within 1 year. Since then I have entertained full-stack development, DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering and have documented my journey here on the channel. Here you'll find coding tutorials, career advice, professional coding tips, life hacks, and the ups and downs of this highly enriching journey of software engineering. I make videos specifically for YOU and if there is anything specific you would like to request please don't hesitate to ask. If all this sounds like something that can help you on your own coding journey, consider subscribing and joining me along the way! Kind Regards, Travis
