Summary
Travis Shears is a Senior Software Engineer based in Munich with a decade of full-stack experience building customer-facing web platforms and internal tooling. He has driven end-to-end projects from architecture to deployment—modernizing e-commerce stacks with Node.js and server-rendered React, introducing image-processing Lambdas, and leading A/B testing adoption with LaunchDarkly to make data-driven product decisions. Comfortable moving between frontend, backend, and devops, he’s acted as tech lead, architect, and mentor while improving code quality, testing, and release processes. Prior roles at agencies and startups gave him hands-on experience with WebGL/three.js, complex integrations (Stripe, messaging systems), and product-focused delivery for high-usage applications. Collected across his career is a practical blend of design-minded problem solving (rooted in an architectural studies background) and a preference for making measurable business impact through technical improvements.
