Travis Whidden is a CTO, Co-Inventor at eConnect, Inc. He possess expertise in integration, microsoft sql server, c#, xml, sql and 34 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I had the privilege to work with Travis while I was with the API&Integration team at Pelco. Travis is an integrator of pelco and thus a customer. My job was to help customers like Travis to integrate pelco products with third party applications and devices. In my job, I had seen a fair share of codes (mostly ugly), and had debugged codes from developers around the world. IMHO Travis's was one of the beautiful codes I had seen. It didn't take much time to develop a respect towards Travis. This eventually led to many night and weekends hacks. It was FUN and delightful. I found the few traits in Travis, wanting me to copy them. * Strict style rules and beautifully intended code base. * Not being shy to refactor old or ugly code * Minimalistic approach in coding. * Selection of APIs to implement a solution. While being a really good engineer, Travis possess entrepreneur skills and business sense. His technology choices and code hacks are business driven. It is often hard for a geek to choose between what he wants and what the business wants. Travis possess that unique skill to identify the fine line between them and choose the one that benefits the business. His in depth knowledge in Microsoft technologies (.Net, C#, DirectX, WPF) always amazes me. I found him wanting to learn and is very generous when it comes to sharing his knowledge. He was never shy to admit if he was wrong either. Another trait I found where he excels is when dealing with pressure. I had the rare privilege of watching him when dealing with fire at customer sites. He never lost a beat and was always on top of things to help our mutual customers. I short, Travis is a kind of guy you would hire. He get things done !!!" and "Travis is great to work with because he is professional in all of his dealings. He has a vast array of knowledge from many tech related disciplines and understands software development lifecycles very well. He is very thorough when it comes to documenting issues and very willing to work with you any way you need to get to the finish line. He applies a common sense to his every day life that many people lack, and that is why he is successful. I would work with him any time without a second thought."
