About Me

Hello! My name is Alton S. White V. I’m a passionate IT professional with a strong background in computer networking, system administration, cloud computing, automation, and databases. I'm always learning, always building, and always helping others solve real-world technical challenges—simple or complex. If someone needs IT help, I’ll find a way to support them.

My Journey

I grew up in a military family and moved frequently, which gave me a unique appreciation for adaptability and solving new problems. Like many in tech, my journey started with gaming—playing on a Nintendo DS and Wii in the mid-2000s. Over time, I learned how to build PCs, read blueprints, and eventually design and deploy real-world systems, from workstations and servers to entire databases.

Outside of Tech

Hobbies: Plastic model building, exercising, drawing, tabletop and video gaming
Music: I play trombone and trumpet
Interests: Anime, K-dramas, and comic books (Marvel/DC)
Achievements: Eagle Scout Award (2016)
Education: Associate degree in Computer Network Engineering & Cybersecurity from Pierce College. Recently completed my bachelor’s in CIT—just waiting on the diploma to be in hand.

More About My Journey

Hey, I’m Alton White. I was born in Auburn, Washington on February 15, 1999. Growing up in a military family, I moved around a lot—ten times, in fact—which gave me a broad view of the U.S. (I’ve seen every state except Alaska and California). Being the oldest of four kids taught me early responsibility, and I credit my parents for shaping who I am today.

Outside of tech, I’m passionate about model building, gaming (both tabletop and digital), drawing, and music. I’ve been building models with my dad since I was four and now focus on Gundam kits inspired by mecha anime. I’m also into Warhammer 40k, Magic: The Gathering, and comics from both Marvel and DC. When I draw, my style is heavily influenced by manga and anime.
