Hi, I'm Travis.
Founder of Vanilla Stack Labs. I specialize in building custom, lean software solutions for Western New York businesses. From Buffalo, I help local teams modernize their workflows without the bloat.
My Story
Living in a city shaped by manufacturing, I saw an opportunity to apply my skills where they could make a real impact: streamlining operations, automating workflows, and modernizing the tools that keep local businesses running.
My goal is simple: build systems that work quietly and powerfully behind the scenes, tailored to the people who use them. I treat every project as a chance to bring clarity, efficiency, and craft to the software that supports our region.
The French Vanilla Stack
In a world of complex frameworks, I believe in simplicity. This approach results in applications that are faster, more secure, and easier to maintain.
Faster
By avoiding heavy libraries and dependencies, apps load quicker and feel more responsive.
More Secure
A smaller codebase and fewer third-party packages mean a smaller attack surface.
Easier to Maintain
Clean, intentional code is easier to understand, update, and extend in the future.
