About Me

I'm Brandon Bunce, an IT / DevOps engineer, and this is my digital resume!

For a very long time, I have been passionate about information systems. My passion was first ignited when I got to play with a PowerMac G4 as a kid, and it has grown and continued to this day where I'm proud to have worked across the industry and earned the full CompTIA triad (A+, Net+, Sec+).

My work is my passion. I believe information technology should only be used for good, and I am proud to have built solutions to accomplish that. Some of my favorite experiences have been fixing PCs that bring people joy through games, or fixing a long-term problem with a senior's network so they can video call their family again.

In the business sector, I've always believed that building principled, well-documented solutions brings real value to a team. By communicating clearly and cutting through technical jargon, for both internal teams and external users, I've seen and practiced firsthand just how much easier life can be with effective IT.

Outside of work, my current focus is on my latest project, the FriendBox, a touchscreen desk appliance that connects you to the people that matter. It allows you to send and receive drawings, animations, audio, and more to others or even a random user! I also often touch on side projects like my Homelab and Home Automation systems.
