“In his work at 3M Travis was a skilled and respected web developer. In particular, he is extremely proactive in all he does: always studying, researching, and figuring out things before being asked. I always got the sense he saw each new project as a riddle to be solved, a new puzzle to put together and revel in. At one point he even reached out to the developer of a software tool he was using to offer his assistance in improving it; as I recall his assistance was quite welcome. He was one of the first to explore the 3M mobile website coding platform, and he rapidly became one of the web construction team’s best mobile web development experts.
I am pleased to see that Travis is continuing to use his skills in user experience and visual design. I was lucky enough to see his personal portfolio when he was at 3M, but it was not an area he got to explore to great opportunity in this position. I welcomed his suggestions for improvements to both the codebase and the design of our mobile theme, and respected his opinion. I wish him all the best in his future positions, and would be pleased to work with him again if the opportunity presented itself.”
