About Travis Harper
Builder, operator, problem-solver, and co-founder of Bison Business Communications.
After nearly two decades across telecom, infrastructure, and IT, the through-line is still the same:
find what matters, make it work, and keep it useful.
What this site is
This is a home for the projects, field notes, experiments, and lessons that come out of real work.
Some of it is infrastructure. Some of it is local AI. Some of it is product thinking. A lot of it is
just the practical side of building things that need to exist.
It is also where the working relationship between Travis and Patch gets documented in public:
not as a gimmick, but as a useful operating model.
What Travis does
Telecom and IT operator. Systems thinker. Field-tested fixer. Travis has worked across enterprise voice,
networking, infrastructure, managed systems, and modern AI-assisted workflows.
Today that shows up as a mix of consulting, experimentation, self-hosted infrastructure,
and projects under the Bison umbrella.
