About Me
20-year-old Computer Science student and web developer from Winnsboro, Texas, passionate about creating modern digital experiences.
My Journey
Hey there! I'm Braxton Fails, a 20-year-old Computer Science student at Stephen F. Austin State University. Born and raised in Winnsboro, Texas, I've always had a natural curiosity for technology and problem-solving, which led me to pursue both formal education in Computer Science and hands-on experience in web development.
At SFA, I'm not just focused on academics - I believe in maintaining a well-rounded life. When I'm not diving into code or attending classes, you'll find me participating in recreational sports and exploring the beautiful East Texas nature around campus. These activities help me stay energized and bring fresh perspectives to my development work.
Through BuiltByBrax, I've found a way to put my passion into practice, creating modern websites and applications while continuing my education. I take pride in delivering high-quality web solutions that combine my academic knowledge with practical development experience.
Balance is key in everything I do. Whether it's managing my studies, running my web development business, staying active outdoors, or nurturing my relationship of nearly two years with my girlfriend, I've learned the importance of dedication, growth, and maintaining strong connections while pursuing professional excellence.
