Travis Shanahan has been working on developing cloud infrastructure and cloud applications before the word was coined for shared large-scale hosted software services. In particular, taking lead architecture roles at Oracle, a few startups, as well as Silver Spring Networks, prior to joining Itron Idea Labs. While his background has been largely on the cloud side of IoT, he has helped extend the cloud out to the field network to develop a number of edge compute and capabilities in network deployments over the past few years with smart city and smart grid network infrastructures.
