Hi, I'm Carter!
I'm an aspiring full stack web developer who's passionate about creating and developing applications to bring them into reality. I'm currently attending UNH's Full Stack Coding Bootcamp.
I like to see how my interests in music and game development can tie into the work I do. It keeps me motivated to improve and apply new technologies that I'm learning to my code.
My Story
I always knew I loved computers. I've used computers since I was about 6 years old and taught myself how to navigate them very quickly. I maintained this interest over the years, and when it was time to apply for colleges, I ended up choosing electrical engineering instead. However, despite doing well in school, I realized that I did not enjoy electrical engineering and decided to pursue my true passion for coding. I withdrew from college and got to work on teaching myself how to code. During the Summer, I discovered coding bootcamps existed, and I imagined taking one would be a great opportunity to explore and learn more concepts. This experience has brought me to where I am today: pursuing my passion for coding, learning new concepts quickly, and applying them in practical scenarios, all while loving every minute of it.
My Projects
InNeed
Group project Indeed clone featuring technologies such as: Express.js, Sequelize, Semantic UI, Bootstrap, and Handlebars. Seeing sites like Indeed inspired us to create something similar. We learned to use a completely foreign front end framework (Semantic UI), which when in combination with Bootstrap, gave us some issues. We ended up making it work and had a fantastic time.

Tech Blog Application
Full-stack application using express.js, handlebars, express-session, and Sequelize that runs a tech blog. As someone who needed practice working with the MVC (Model View Content) paradigm, I figured an application that could function on a deployed Heroku server would greatly help to improve my skills. It was difficult, but somewhere around halfway through, something clicked and it started getting easier.

Marvel Typing Trainer
Group project that generates interactive text passages based on Marvel comics and movies that allow user to train typing skills. Using strictly HTML/CSS and vanilla JavaScript, we were able to utilize the Marvel comics API to generate passages of text. Using that text, we created an interactive typing interface, allowing users to practice typing.
