Summary
Travis Franklin is an engineering manager with eight years of software experience, currently leading remote teams at Harness from Lake Oswego, Oregon. He progressed from frontend freelancer and multimedia background into senior engineering roles, blending strong UI sensibilities with backend delivery experience at Groundfloor and Harness. Travis brings a creative edge—formerly a photographer and marketing creative director—which informs his product-first approach to engineering and mentorship. He studied communications and completed a Udacity Front End Nanodegree, giving him a pragmatic mix of design, user experience, and front-end technical skills. Comfortable operating remotely across distributed teams, he’s known for moving quickly from prototype to production while keeping cross-functional stakeholders aligned. As a small, less-obvious detail, he still appreciates design color systems—ask him about Pantone 185.
