Howdy, I'm Braxton! Originally from Tennessee, I'm a U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman turned Software Engineer at Fischer Identity.
I like the seam where software meets hardware, like registers, noisy sensors, and microcontrollers with no time to waste. I'm into spaceflight and autonomous vehicles.
I finished my B.S. in Software Engineering at FGCU, and I am currently going to UF for their ECE graduate program.
🛰️ TinyGit · from-scratch Git in C
Just finished as of 07/21/2026. It's a byte-for-byte implementation of Git based on the init -> add -> commit loop.
📡 ADS-B Station · Raspberry Pi 5 + RTL-SDR
Listening to aircraft over Southwest Florida on 1090 MHz. Eventually, I want to write the Mode S decoder myself instead of using dump1090.

Next up after TinyGit.
Daily: C, Python, Linux, Git
Learning: Verilog / SystemVerilog, analog & device physics, DSP, embedded toolchains
Touched: FastAPI, LangChain, AVR assembly, CARLA, Supabase / pgvector
On the keyboard: best in the morning, useless by 3 pm. I'm a "why does this work" learner, which means I get further but slower.
Off the keyboard: golf, writing, and hopefully traveling. Probably gonna own a winery one day. Lately, reading my way through aerospace history, like Apollo, flight software, that kind of thing. Current reads are on Goodreads.
"Built on Earth, hopefully reading from orbit one day."
