About

Hi there! I’m Travis McKinstry, a software engineer based in Denver, Colorado, with five years of experience delivering high-impact, full-stack solutions in regulated healthcare environments. I specialize in Ruby on Rails and React, with Python experience, and I thrive on building robust architectures that meet HIPAA and FHIR standards while improving operational outcomes.

I love architecting scalable tech to improve outcomes for underserved demographics. I’ve proven a track record of optimizing engineering efficiency—reducing pipeline runtimes by 70% and cutting debugging overhead through architectural redesigns—while staying HIPAA and FHIR compliant and collaborating across teams to ship reliable software.
