About Me
Langston J. Duncanson
The Technophile – (ˈtɛknəˌfaɪl ) noun. a person who is enthusiastic about advanced technology or about high-tech equipment or devices.
My love of technology is the primary driving force of my career decisions. Ever since I was young I was always intrigued by Computers, Video Game Consoles, and even Television sets.
Once I was old enough to use a computer I found myself using a software known as RPG Maker. That was a major turn point because I went from just using a computer to enjoy entertainment or create documents with a word processor to dabbling in my first experience as a programmer.
I created websites using Adobe Fireworks and Dreamweaver. I just revelled in the fact that I could create and code and make the computer do my bidding. Learning Flash and Actionscript was a little outside my league because although I knew how to use my point and click system I was far from a basic programmer who would’ve know control flow and object oriented programming.
After I got into college I was able to take introductory programming courses such as C++, Java, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript. These courses empowered my thirst and made me an even more capable Techie.
Computer hardware came natural to me after reading books on how to build your first computer. I eventually did just that. I built an AMD FX based computer with a AMD Graphics card. It was amazing how I could take distinct parts put them together and with the right steps create a functioning computer.
I began to seek ways to prove my knowledge in Computer hardware and this is where I learned about Comptia A+ and I was hooked on reading the book and preparing for the test. I also picked up Cisco CCNA books to add networking to my repertoire.
Working for Staples, Best Buy Geek Squad, Office Depot Office Max, netTalk Inc and FIU College of Medicine IT Department further cemented my love for Technology.
My roots in game development from my RPG Maker days has lead me to have soft spot for video game design. I recently started programming in C# using the Unity Game Engine. It is one of my favorite hobbies of mine because I get to create visually appealing games and I get to functionally see what I program because of the visual feedback.
Overall, I am a enthusiastic technology oriented technician and coder. I have aspirations to develop my talents to becoming a full-fledged programmer and eventually software developer to software engineer. These are all my goals and endeavors.
Thanks for reading … and getting to know more about me.

Associates & Colleagues
Gentle and kind are two words to describe Langston. When I had the opportunity to meet Langston I saw a lot of hidden potential. He is intelligent and capable however like any Leader it is important to stretch and grow individuals. Over our time together Langston has shown he is capable of handling change and providing more to a team through leading and teaching. He has patience and perseverance as well as the desire to grow. His main driving force is to reach his potential and become individual of greatness.
Langston was a great help as I transitioned into my current position. He is always available to answer my questions and provide guidance whenever needed. His patience with customers is unmatched. He is very detailed oriented and knowledgeable about Technology and our other departments. His caring, compassionate and positive attributes adds to his overall charm and capability.
I know Langston from our days working in the back at the Tech Bench in Best Buy Geek Squad. As a fellow agent he taught me the ropes and encouraged me to grow my knowledge in Tech. Years later I also had the opportunity to study Data Structures and Algorithms with him at Miami Dade College. The class was a difficult one but Langston took initiative to help whenever there were hiccups. He always demonstrated a compassion to share his wisdom and knowledge rather than covet it. That is an integral trait needed in the workforce today as being a Team Player and collaborative ability are paramount to a successful career.
While overseeing the North Miami Office Depot location I hired Langston. At the time Langston showed great potential and was always willing to learn new skills and jump in new departments to assist the business needs. Langston has always been focused on his future and has taken the necessary steps to achieve his goals. His attention to details and customer service focus greatly assisted the store and his peers with our technology services programs. I look forward to see Langston’s next steps and I’m sure he will be an asset wherever goes, and I wish him the best of luck on that journey.
Langston the gentle giant as I like to call him started his beginning working in the Copy and Print center at our store. Of course it took him some time to learn the ins and outs of the job role but he quickly grasped concepts and added his expertise and know how with computers to become an essential team member. His drive and professionalism made him successful but more so he was a pleasure to work with. His ability to overcome obstacles and his social skills made work a breeze. It was great being a co-manager with him while I was there.
I’ve known this guy for about half of my life and have been a witness to his continuous growth. He has overcome numerous obstacles and has always provided a helping hand whenever he can. His optimism and positive outlook is are a few of his essential personality strengths. He has a love for technology and aims to deeper his understanding habitually. I’m grateful to have a fellow brother in the Tech Industry. I definitely see myself working with Langston in future tech endeavors as his skillset grows.
