Travis Briggs earned his BS in computer science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a software developer, amateur musician, and blogger. All of these skills come together in his personal blog at <http://boxofmonocles.com>.

Travis' professional specialties center around open source web application development and all of the modern tools that enable this task: "scripting" languages such as Ruby, Javascript, Python and -- to a lesser extent -- PHP; data stores such as MySQL and Cassandra; servers such as lighttpd and Apache; and various other client and server side technologies.

At WPI, Travis earned a minor in Music and was the President and Music Director of the all-male a cappella group Simple Harmonic Motion (link: <http://shmacapella.com>). He was also music director -- and performed improvised music for -- WPI's comedy improvisation group Guerilla Improv (link: <http://users.wpi.edu/~improv/>). Currently, Travis writes and records his own music and performs at open mic nights and as a busker.
