Hey! This is a work in progress and will be updating as I work on it. Things will be broken with some dead links as I work on my garden :)

Hi, I'm Braxton

I'm a 23 year old software engineer at Thomson Reuters working on their Westlaw Precision product, and recent computer science graduate of Minnesota State University, Mankato.. I mostly focus on the backend involving the Spring Java Framework, Tomcat, and REST APIs. I care about writing maintainable code, understanding the tools I use, and documenting everything. I deeply value sharing knowledge, educating others, and understanding new viewpoints whether that be in computer science topics, my personal and professional life, or ways of life.

File over app. Protocol over platform.

This website intends to serve as a digital garden for myself for various notes, projects, and experiments.

I am not terribly active online, but you can find me on most services as @taxborn. I am most active on GitHub and Mastodon.

Recent Notes

I like to write from time to time about adventures I go on, growth in my career, or about something I've come across. I eventually want to setup a personal wiki of sorts, maybe even use obsidian publish.
