Hi there, I'm Winter Faulk 👋

I fell in love with computers when I was 12 years old. My first machine was a Packard Bell with an Intel 386 processor and 4MB of RAM — later upgraded to a whopping 16MB. I had a habit of breaking the system repeatedly, and after my father grew tired of paying for repairs, one of his friends taught me how to fix it myself. From that moment on, I spent hours every day tinkering — breaking, fixing, and tweaking everything I could on it.

That computer was where I first learned to code in BASIC, and it also also became my gateway to the Internet. As the years went by, my passion for technology only grew. I taught myself multiple languages, including ASM86, Visual Basic, HTML, and QuakeC — so I could create my own Quake mods. By my teenage years, I had discovered my love for networking and security. After high school, I earned multiple certifications from Microsoft, Cisco, and CompTIA, further solidifying my technical foundation.

Over the last 24 years, I’ve worked across various areas of the tech industry — from building network infrastructures that span thousands of miles to developing custom software for small businesses, all the way to large-scale SaaS platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users. My experience spans multiple languages, including JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Go, Rust, Python, and C#, along with frameworks like Laravel, React, and Vue. I’ve also worked extensively with databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite.

Technology has always been more than just a career for me — it's been a lifelong passion.
