Hi, my name's Carson. I'm a senior at UGA studying computer science with plans to graduate in May. In my free time, I like to read, exercise, build legos, collect various knickknacks, and learn new things.
My favorite thing to code is front-end for websites. I think it is the perfect intersection of Computer Science and Creativity. I have learned languages and skills such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS/Tailwind, and React, and I've taken a web development course at UGA. I also have experience in Java, C/C++, MongoDB, and a smattering of Python.
! Note: This website is a work-in-progress so I am still updating it and working out some of its quirks. Thanks for visiting!
After taking a two-year break from music to focus on school, I auditioned for the UGA Redcoat Band before my junior year. Since then, I've been to every home football game, Jacksonville twice with two wins against Florida, Mercedez-Benz Stadium three times with an SEC Championship win, Miami to the Orange Bowl, and New Orleans to the Sugar Bowl. I made many new friends and a lifetime of memories.
Recently, I joined DevDogs at UGA, which is a Google Developer Group. I am part of the front-end team in a project developing a schedule-building website for UGA students. The goal is to provide a feature-rich schedule service, tailored to UGA.
Pokémon Team Builder - Course: Web Programming
A CRUD Operations project with an open-ended topic. My team of 3 created a website that allows users to create a team of 6 Pokémon like in the games, and the ability to input and customize their individual characteristics. The user could then edit and delete their team, or view information about it. The team was saved to the MongoDB database and displayed on the home screen. Front-end implemented with React along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Back-end implemented with Node.js and MongoDB. Team collaboration with git.
Cinema E-Booking System - Course: Software Engineering
A full-stack term project with a scrum-based workflow. My team of 4 built a website that allowed users to book movies, which included picking showtimes and selecting seats. I was responsible for building the seat selection page, among others, which required custom components, conditional rendering, and communication between the previous ticket selection page and the next checkout page. Front-end implemented with React, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Team collaboration with git.
