Welcome in! Brandon Crabtree
Welcome to my corner of the internet. I build, package, automate, and occasionally break things — usually on purpose.
Who I am
I’m Brandon — a desktop engineer focused on application packaging, endpoint management, and making systems behave at scale.
I’m not a “traditional” developer, but I spend a lot of time writing scripts, building deployment logic, and figuring out how to turn messy, manual processes into something consistent and repeatable.
Most of my work sits at the intersection of endpoints, infrastructure, and automation — where things are just complex enough to get interesting.
What I do
- Application Packaging — Building, testing, and deploying apps in a reliable, repeatable way
- Endpoint Management — Working with Intune and modern device management workflows
- Automation — PowerShell, scripting, and reducing manual effort wherever possible
- Infrastructure & Self-Hosting — Running services with Docker and managing environments on Unraid
- Troubleshooting — Logs, failed installs, broken pipelines… the usual fun
Current focus
Right now, I spend most of my time working with:
- Intune — Packaging, deployment strategies, and endpoint configuration
- Docker — Running and integrating self-hosted services
- Unraid — Managing and expanding my home lab environment
- Packaging workflows — Improving consistency, reliability, and deployment speed
Outside of work
When I’m not dealing with deployments or debugging something, I’m usually watching movies, 3D Printing, or playing the occasional game — anything with platforming, great evironments, or anything that’s not a huge time sinker.
This site
This site is where I document what I’m learning, what I’ve built, and the problems I’ve had to fight through to get things working.
Expect a mix of:
- Packaging notes
- Deployment workflows
- Self-hosting setups
- And the occasional “why does this even work like this?” post
If it saves you time or helps you solve something faster, it’s done its job.
