# Travis Marlette, itrav.ai

> Travis Marlette, AI Systems Architect. Twenty years architecting systems that hold up under hard constraints: scale, compliance, and trust. SIEM and distributed systems at federal and financial scale; now AI systems and the agents that build them.

This site is an interactive CV and portfolio for Travis Marlette. The notes below
summarize the body of work for AI agents and crawlers. Project names for proprietary
and client work are anonymized to generic descriptors; the open-source ecosystem uses
its real names because it is public on npm.

## Who

AI Systems Architect based in Phoenix, AZ. Splunk Architect II; AWS Solutions
Architect Associate; CCNP; JNCP. Public Trust clearance. Author of two Splunk books
published by Packt. The throughline across the career is systems architecture: the
domain has moved from SIEM and distributed systems to AI systems, the discipline has
not. Signature focus: building the systems that build systems.

## Selected work

Agentic AI:
- AI Infrastructure Platform: a multi-cloud platform where 20 specialist agents plan and execute infrastructure under human-in-the-loop control; agents cannot override security guardrails. Deployed.
- Multi-Swarm Deployment Platform: a SaaS platform that spins up secure multi-swarm agent instances to build infrastructure across any major cloud, with cost/time tracking and approval gates. Built.

Federal infrastructure:
- Air-Gapped Software-Delivery Toolkit: builds dependency bundles and ships them across air-gap boundaries; 25 tools, 1,000+ passing test assertions. Shipping.
- Multi-Cloud, Multi-Partition IaC: Terraform across AWS, Azure, GCP and commercial plus GovCloud partitions, with policy-as-code on every apply. Deployed.

AI products:
- Production AI SaaS: an AI platform for real-estate investors that Travis built and operates: multi-LLM RAG, specialized AI advisors, tiered access. Live in production.
- 24/7 AI Voice Agent: a real-time voice agent that routes inbound calls and escalates to humans by channel and urgency. Built.

## Open source

## MCP server

A public, read-only Model Context Protocol server is live at https://mcp.itrav.ai/mcp
(Streamable HTTP transport). It exposes this CV and portfolio as queryable tools:
get_profile, get_experience, get_projects, get_skills_and_certifications, and search.
Connect it to an AI assistant to ask questions about Travis's background. From Claude:

  claude mcp add --transport http itrav https://mcp.itrav.ai/mcp

## Schema

Every page embeds JSON-LD (`Person`, `WebSite`, plus `subjectOf` entries for projects,
packages, and books) in `<script type="application/ld+json">` for crawlers that consume
schema.org structured data directly.
