Brandon F.
Mahdavi.

Computer Science at San Diego State. Shipping software since 2018 — from Java SOAP integrations for enterprise notification platforms, to SQL pipelines in regulated labs, to the home networks and security systems I configure today.

CompTIA Security+ certified. Comfortable across Linux, BSD, and the stack end-to-end. Currently looking for what's next.

01 // About

Builder,
since early.

Brandon at work

I wrote my first production code as a high-school intern at OnSolve (formerly MIR3), building a Java CLI against their Intelligent Notification SOAP API — the same reference code their technical partners at Salesforce used to learn the platform. I was sixteen.

Since then I've designed SQL databases for regulated lab workflows at Bioduro-Sundia, written test scripts that cut post-release issues by 15%, and drafted GMP equipment protocols to standardize lab documentation. In parallel I've kept shipping — home networks, security systems, and smart-home installs across San Diego.

I'm finishing my B.S. in Computer Science at San Diego State in May 2026, with coursework across software systems, algorithms, machine learning, UNIX administration, wireless networks, and applied security. I like the layer where operating systems, networking, and security meet — and I like making that layer invisible to the person using it.

Selected work.

A few things I've shipped — from enterprise platforms to hands-on network installs.

2026 — Present Independent · San Diego

Home Network & Security Systems

Configuring residential internet, Wi-Fi, and connected-device environments for multiple households across San Diego — routers, extenders, cameras, smart-home devices. Installing and supporting electronic security systems end-to-end, from network topology to device integration.

LIMS Data Pipeline & GMP Tooling

Designed SQL databases to import 100+ product specifications into the laboratory LIMS. Authored test scripts that cut post-release issues by 15%, and drafted complex GMP equipment protocols that standardized setup documentation.

Intelligent Notification SOAP Client

Built a Java application to create and initiate multi-modal mass notifications via OnSolve's Intelligent Notification SOAP API — Email, SMS, Pager, voice (text-to-speech), and mobile. Shipped as reference code used by OnSolve's Salesforce partners to onboard the platform.

03 // Services

What I do.

I work across the stack — from silicon-adjacent systems to the screens people actually touch.

Network & Security Setup

Home and small-business network design, Wi-Fi optimization, camera and access-control installs, and hardening from the router outward.

Software Development

Java, Python, Swift, and C/C++. CLIs, backend services, and desktop applications built to run — not to decorate a README.

API Integration

SOAP, REST, and partner-facing reference implementations. Comfortable with request lifecycles, auth flows, and the unglamorous retry logic that holds it together.

Database Design

Relational schema design and data pipelines — with real-world experience in regulated GMP laboratory environments.

Security Consulting

CompTIA Security+ certified. TLS fundamentals, PKI and hashing concepts, network traffic analysis, and applied security for small-scale deployments.

UNIX / Linux Administration

Ubuntu, Debian, Kali, FreeBSD, OpenBSD. Server management, systems coursework, and the muscle memory that comes from living in a terminal.
