CompTIA A+ Certified | IT Specialist | Problem Solver
Proudly hosted on a repurposed Google Pixel 6 Pro™. demonstrating that powerful hosting doesn't always require enterprise hardware, just resourcefulness.
Hi, I'm Braxton. I am a CompTIA A+ certified professional who loves taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and putting them back together better than before. My background isn't typical, and I think that’s my biggest strength.
Before moving into IT, I worked as an RV technician and land surveyor. Those roles taught me how to troubleshoot complex physical systems in the field, often with limited resources. I’ve translated that hands-on, "figure it out" mindset directly into managing hardware, diagnosing software issues, and configuring networks.
I am currently expanding my skillset into network security and cloud infrastructure. I’m looking for a role in technical support or system operations where I can put my resourcefulness to work immediately.
Check out my latest résumé for a detailed look at my certifications, professional history, and the technical skills I bring to the table.
Tech: Android, Termux, Cloudflare, HTML/CSS
You're looking at it! I turned a standard smartphone into a functional web server. This project demonstrates my ability to work with Linux environments (via Termux), manage DNS and tunneling, and optimize resources on non-standard hardware.
Tech: Linux, Wine/Proton, Shell Scripting
configured a portable handheld to run a full Linux desktop environment optimized for gaming. This involved managing compatibility layers (Wine/Proton), optimizing kernel parameters for battery life vs. performance, and troubleshooting driver conflicts.
