Will Carter

About me

I love building cool things that live on the internet. I love the feeling of telling someone to pull out their phone and look at something I built. I started messing around with HTML when I was a kid in the late 90s, and then matured in customizing my Myspace profile with CSS in high school.

After college I became a portrait photographer, and then started working in social media for a music festival production company. Wanting a transition in my career, I started teaching myself Javascript, then enrolled at General Assembly for the Full Stack Development Immersive in 2014.

Fast forward a few years — I've worked at small and large agencies, I've worked with a wide variety of technologies, I've built platforms from the ground up, and had the joy of teaching others — all to achieve my goal of having someone look at what I've built and say, "how cool!"

Outside of my career, I'm a dedicated father, husband, Nintendo lover, sour skittles addict, disc golfer, and fantasy football nerd. It's nice to meet you. Let's build something cool together!

I had the pleasure of having Will as a direct report for over 6 months at Mythical Games. Will is driven, knowledgeable, and has a true passion for what he does. Will has a knack for working and communicating with both technical and non-technical colleagues, being very thorough when gathering information, communicating to others, and executing. Not only is he an efficient contributor, he is sincerely a great person to work with.

Working with Will was a pleasure. I found his enthusiasm and creativity to be most intoxicating. He is constantly thinking of new and beneficial ways to approach work. When faced with a problem, he seeks an ideal solution and pursues it relentlessly. His strongest talents are visual storytelling, an ability to connect with people, and goal-oriented focus. Not only is he good with people, but he has an uncanny ability to identify a person’s needs and inspire them to reach their goals. He is enthusiastic about challenges and seeks perfection, but he is always willing to adapt his high standards to meet varying project parameters and client demands. I believe he would be an asset to any creative team.
