Parker Branham

About

My name is Parker

I'm a senior at Cardinal Newman headed toward engineering. I've been tinkering with computers since I was 10 — starting with self-hosted Minecraft servers, and working up to CAD-designed parts, an FTC team I'm trying to start, and websites I build for myself and others. I'm a perfectionist: I want things to work exactly the way I picture them, and when they don't, I keep at it until they do.

FTC Robotics — Founding (Pending Approval)

Cardinal Newman High School

Working to start a FIRST Tech Challenge team at Cardinal Newman. I'd lead it — designing, building, and programming in Java and Fusion 360 — but it's still awaiting principal approval, so nothing is official yet. Previously placed 4th at Beta Club Robotics, the school's first placement in six years.

Web Development

Self-Taught · Personal Projects

I build sites for myself and occasionally help friends out — hand-written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, hosted on GitHub Pages. This portfolio and scpressurepoint.com are both mine. It's a skill I enjoy, not a business I advertise.

Founder & Owner

SC Pressure Point

Student-owned pressure washing in Columbia, SC. I started it at 14, when I was too young to get hired anywhere. I handle outreach, square-foot quoting, scheduling, and the work itself — customers text me directly. Live at scpressurepoint.com, currently paused while I focus on senior year.

Sales Associate

BeBeep Toys

At 15, once gas money got tight, I picked up a job at BeBeep Toys while still running my own jobs on the side. Customer-facing work: helping shoppers, gift wrapping, and running the register.

Server Administrator & Developer

Personal Project

Started at 10 and self-hosted a Minecraft server network that peaked at 80+ members. Set up a static IP and a BungeeCord proxy, wrote Java plugins, and built a Discord bot for community and server management.
