Top SchoolTravis Hegner is a Senior Backend Software Engineer with 13 years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning network engineering, data and ML engineering, infrastructure, and full-stack development. He designs and leads scalable, fault-tolerant data platforms and real-time indexing services—recently building a strongly typed Go storage layer with geo-spatial and vector querying and managing production Kubernetes fleets on AWS. Travis has practical telecom and open-source chops too, contributing front-end lazy-loading improvements to LibreNMS and backend fixes plus E.164 support for the HOMER VoIP capture project. He brings a systems-first mindset that balances low-level networking and deployment automation with high-level API and search experiences, and has repeatedly reduced runtime and latency through architectural and engineering optimizations. Based in Battle Creek, Michigan, he pairs pragmatic engineering leadership with a philosophical streak—“Normal is relative... Truth is absolute”—that shows up in careful, measurable system design.
