I build software
that feels fast,
focused, and human.
I’m Travis Adams, a backend-focused software engineer working with Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and Express. With a background in Angular and .NET, I care about building systems that are structured, scalable, and easy to reason about. I enjoy creating APIs and backend services that perform well and stay maintainable as they grow.
Technical Skills
I’m a software engineer focused on building reliable, scalable backend systems with Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and Express. My work centers on designing structured APIs, modular services, and backend architectures that are easy to maintain and extend over time.
With a strong full-stack background in Angular and .NET, I've developed a solid understanding of architecture, dependency injection, and modular design; principles I now apply across both frontend and backend work.
Whether I'm optimizing API performance, refining service boundaries, or improving developer workflows, my goal is to create backend systems that are fast, maintainable, and a pleasure to work with.
Backend
I design and maintain backend services using Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, and Express. I work with databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQL Server, focusing on clean architecture, modular code, strong typing, and patterns that scale across teams.
Frontend
With over six years of experience building UI systems in Angular and React, I understand how frontends consume data, handle state, and scale across teams. That perspective helps me design backend APIs that integrate cleanly with modern frontend architectures.
Mindset
I emphasize code clarity, testing, and maintainable architecture. I enjoy improving developer experience through better tooling, documentation, and CI/CD workflows. My backend focus has strengthened how I approach performance, reliability, and long-term system health.
Always Learning
I stay committed to continuous learning within the Node.js ecosystem. I’m currently deepening my expertise in NestJS, advanced TypeScript patterns, backend performance optimization, database design, testing, and distributed systems.
