Introduction

Welcome all, to the world of Me! My name is Bradley Knutson and I am a burgeoning developer and entrepreneur. Starting late 2019, I became a student at the DU coding bootcamp focusing on web development using the MERN stack. It has always been a dream of mine to be a programmer and I have hit my jump off point. I have experience with web development (HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc) as well as programming using Python, C++, and bit of C#. Although I have not yet had my first job using these skills, I plan to become more proficient in them and begin my career.

My side projects consist of using various Raspberry Pis for different objectives such as a Pi Hole, which is used for blocking advertisements at the network level as opposed to in a browser or application. I am also writing plans for a full arcade cabinet using a new Raspberry Pi to emulate as many games as possible, both in terms of classic arcade and older generation console games such as the Sega Genesis.

On a normal day you'd find me playing video games, reading a science fiction novel, riding my motorcycle (Kawasaki Z1000) or just sitting back and relaxing with my collection of Rubik's Cubes. I have a unique talent for puzzles and brain teasers and thus spend a decent amount of my time looking for new challenges.

Employment
CommercialTribe
IT Manager

As the IT Manager I fulfill all needs and requirements from employees within the company for technological needs. I provision and maintain our array of machines and peripherals as well as monitor and maintain our local network. As part of my job I am also the lead for our external support team, including the hiring of workers and writing of the associated documentation.

IT Engineer

As an IT Engineer, I worked both internal and external tickets to remediate all technological issues for employees and customers alike. The bulk of my work was in troubleshooting the CommercialTribe application in a browser. When bugs were found I had to find steps to recreate the issue and send tickets to our development team to resolve.

IBM
Level 1 Support Specialist

As a support specialist, I answered calls and chats to help resolve issues for employees at American Express. The calls regarded anything from an ADS password reset to a halted server. I responded accordingly and accurately to each one according to the severity and available resources. I was also a QA specialist for the other agents and listened to randomly selected calls to grade them on required scripts.
