Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolTravis Brown is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years building high-performance distributed systems and deep Linux kernel/network-stack expertise, now based in Vancouver. He has led kernel ports, designed scalable distributed build and filesystem tooling, and architected low-latency gateway features—bringing production-ready capabilities from R&D into product. His work spans real-time protocol processing (HTTP2, MIME, POP3), bespoke firewall hooks with LuaJIT FFI, and cross-platform porting for embedded and carrier-grade routers. Travis favors well-engineered, performant solutions and has repeatedly reduced CI/build times and operational latency through pragmatic systems design. He mentors teams, drives technical direction for CI and testing, and quietly excels at bridging kernel-space changes with user-space infrastructure. Passionate about solving challenging infrastructure problems, he combines deep systems knowledge with a practical, delivery-focused mindset.
