I am a #queer #civictech #webdev interested in #solarpunk living, a more sustainable web, and improving the world around me!
My work can always be found at https://travissouthard.com/ where I post projects, blog posts, and sometimes #pixelart.
Outside of my work as a developer, I am one of the co-directors at #codeforphilly, our projects are at: https://codeforphilly.org/
In a past life I was a bike mechanic and #biketour leader. Still ride and go #bikepacking when I can.
Last night was my first #codeforphilly hack night as the newer co-Director. Very excited to be working with Andria to keep CfP going strong! And grateful to @katjost for setting us up for success the way she has as the previous co-Director!
Check out https://codeforphilly.org if you’re interested in getting involved with #civictech in #philadelphia! Also we’re looking specifically for events, project success, and communications co-leads to join our leadership team!
At the #sixers game with #codeforphilly leadership tonight! Currently 17 points up at halftime!
This is such a great place to catch a game! #noarenainchinatown
Had a great time working the last five weeks with this #codeforphilly #launchpad23 project team! We’re developing a neat project together and I’m excited to see it come together soon!

A project that will seek to connect Philadelphians to comfortable public spaces, with the focus being on finding places spontaneously. Maybe a map? - GitHub - CodeForPhilly/third-places: A project ...
Wrote a blog post about solving a #dockercompose error I was running into with #vite and #react not building correctly. Solving it unblocks work on the #codeforphilly project my team will be presenting during #ptw2023

Excited to get into the meat of coding our #codeforphilly #launchpad2023 project over the next few weeks. The team has really developed a cool plan for an app!
I can post it once we’re ready for the #ptw2023 presentations on May 10! And anticipating what the other two Launchpad teams have been working on!
#PhillyTechWeek is coming up soon & I’m looking forward to participating in 3 ways:
1. Speaking about Comcast’s ongoing trial of GitHub’s AI-augmented coding tool, #GitHubCopilot, which I am leading, at a luncheon on May 10th
2. Speaking about the successes & learnings from running the 2023 #CodeForPhilly Launchpad (5-week hackathon) after the luncheon
3. Hosting the Launchpad Showcase at #IndyHall at night on May 10th, where teams will demo their projects after 5 weeks of hard work!
Felt good setting up the boilerplate (or at least beginning of which) for our #codeforphilly #launchpad2023 project!
It's also nice to see the discovery process yield some interesting designs and start thinking about how to implement those! We'll be presenting our demo May 10 at #ptw2023 and I will be happy to share that here when it's ready!

Sometimes you need a reminder to take a five minute break to go appreciate the sunset.
From today’s #CodeForPhilly hack night working through the beginnings of a new project for CfP’s Launchpad event
Had a good weekend of getting some great things done by joining #codeforphilly’s Launchpad kickoff weekend and starting a cool civic project with some excellent volunteers!
Also spent some time gardening and getting some work started on setting up our backyard!
