DEVELOPER
As a developer, I display my skills behind the scenes building robust full-stack web applications that look great, work fast and perform well with a seamless user experience.
About
Hey! I'm Dwight Carter, a self-taught developer whose coding journey began with customizing MySpace layouts. That early curiosity about HTML and CSS sparked a passion that led me from tinkering with social media profiles to building full-scale web applications. Since then, I've worked on everything from e-commerce platforms at Zaniboni Lighting to developing sophisticated mapping applications at GPI. Currently, I focus on building intuitive web solutions that help people better understand and interact with data in meaningful ways.
