A blog is only as interesting as its author, so I think it’s important that you, whatever audience may be reading this, have some information about the guy on the soapbox. I’ll try and keep things short– consider this a quick greeting, a traditional “hello, world!” from me to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Carter, and I currently live in Seattle, Washington. I didn’t get started with programming until high school, where I took some classes and found I really enjoyed the type of problem solving it required. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as figuring out a logical flow or squashing a particularly resilient bug, then watching the code finally run as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite technology by far is anything involving embedded systems. It’s absolutely fascinating how software can be used to make machines do<\/em> things<\/em>, using digital instructions to create physical output. I still have a lot to learn (incidentally, my lowest grade so far has been in Computer Architecture and Assembly Language), but I hope to one day work in the robotics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, I am a competitive gymnast for the Washington Men’s Gymnastics Team. I spend much of my time at practice or volunteering, as we are an entirely self-funded program. Academically, I’m a Beaver, but I will bleed purple until the day I die:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
