He currently leads Exigere Solutions, a U.S.-based medical, IME, and legal transcription platform, while contracting as a senior software engineer and AI/ML engineer on frontier-model evaluation and red-teaming programs. He also runs Etzira Consulting, which installs client-owned AI systems, including an always-on customer front desk and nine human-checked Document Engines for operational paperwork. Travis’s strongest domain grounding comes from eight years in clinical documentation and operations, where he learned the provider patterns, quality-assurance bottlenecks, and note-quality gaps that shape reliable documentation workflows. He specializes in deterministic AI systems, recursive models trained on proprietary data, rigorous evaluation, QA, guardrails, retrieval-augmented generation, and human-in-the-loop design. His work includes a 99.6%-accurate IME transcription platform, Field Intel’s machine-verified sales-call evidence workflow that achieved a 94% versus 31% A/B demo result, and OSINT Fusion, which has more than 1,400 passing tests. Travis holds a bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from the University of Washington and is pursuing an MS in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. ## Services - System Architecture - Risk Management - Healthcare Industry - Localization - MCP \(Multi Agent Protocol\) - Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning - ai safety - Vector Databases - Next.js - TypeScript - Python \(Programming Language\) - Prompt Engineering - llm evaluation - Retrieval-Augmented Generation \(RAG\) - AI Agents - Multi-agent Systems - Engineering - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - Intelligent Agents - Knowledge Engineering - AIF - Customer Relationship Management \(CRM\) - Strategic Planning - Leadership ## Highlights - Founded and leads Exigere Solutions, a U.S.-based medical, IME, and legal transcription platform for records requiring professional, administrative, and legal defensibility. - Built an end-to-end dictation-to-transcription service for IME reports reported as achieving 99.6% accuracy. - Secured ExamWorks, described in the interview record as a multi-billion-dollar company, as a major client. - Brings eight years of clinical-documentation and operations experience, including high-accuracy medical transcription under strict confidentiality and tight turnaround requirements at eTran Solutions. - Contracts as a senior software engineer, AI/ML engineer, and AI evaluation and red-teaming specialist supporting programs for leading frontier AI labs. - Designs technical test cases, rubrics, and evaluation workflows diagnoses model and software failures validates code changes and produces findings used to improve reliability, safety, and performance. - Built Field Intel, a local AI sales-call scoring system that machine-verifies every evidence quote against its transcript and demonstrated a 94% versus 31% A/B result. - Built EndpointDrift, a clinical-trial outcome-switching auditor that requires verbatim evidence for every finding. - Built OSINT Fusion, a local-first exposure scanner and CCPA takedown engine with more than 1,400 passing tests. - Built Marauder Cockpit end to end, including hand-assembled ESP32 Marauder hardware, a 3D-printed housing, desktop command and control, and signal fusion. - Built Second Brain with privacy enforced architecturally rather than through query filters. - Founded and runs Etzira Consulting, which installs client-owned AI systems including an always-on customer front desk and nine human-checked Document Engines. - Developed research for Document Engines spanning field-sales intelligence, event and catering operations, construction and trades service, audit workpapers, EEOC-aware HR case files, real-estate memos, SBAR nursing handoffs, and caseworker benefits packets. - Built deterministic AI and software-engineering infrastructure independently, including a framework, MCP, harness, memory bank, RAG components, and guardrails. - Specializes in deterministic AI systems and recursive models trained on proprietary data, with emphasis on QA, guardrails, auditability, and human-in-the-loop decision processes. - Built HIPAA-compliant systems with quality-assurance and human-in-the-loop components. - Earned a bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from the University of Washington and is pursuing an MS in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. ## Experience - **Senior Software Engineer | AI/ML Engineer | AI Evaluation & Red Teaming \(Contract\) at Indepedent Contractor** (2025-02-01–present) — Contribute senior-level software engineering, AI engineering, machine learning engineering, evaluation, and red-team work to programs supporting leading frontier AI labs.
