About Me

I'm Travis Frisinger, a software veteran with over 20 years of experience who's passionate about the intersection of AI and software development. My focus is on pioneering new approaches to AI-assisted development and human-AI collaboration.

Through Kode Rex, I'm exploring how we can leverage AI to enhance the software development process, create more intuitive human-AI interfaces, and build products that seamlessly integrate AI capabilities. My research and practical experience center on developing frameworks and methodologies that enable effective collaboration between humans and AI systems.

I'm particularly interested in how we can use AI to augment human creativity and productivity while maintaining meaningful human oversight and control.
