Top SchoolTravis Simon is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO based in Canberra with 12 years of professional software experience and a longer track record of engineering and product roles. He founded and now leads Regsoft, a RegTech startup that turns legislation into executable code, blending deep domain thinking with hands-on engineering. His background spans senior engineering roles at CSIRO/Data61 and Xero, embedded Linux work for set-top boxes, and product-led development on high-value financial systems, giving him a rare mix of research-grade software, product strategy, and low-level systems experience.
