Hello, my name is Carter Parks. This site is my space for fiddling around with software and other topics.

This page contains information about me and projects I am working on, as well as work that I find interesting and would like others to know about.

I work as a software developer. Most of my experience has been in web development, but I have a strong interest in all areas of computing.

My resume has more career details.

I have a GitHub and a LinkedIn. This list is comprehensive. If you see someone else on the web that shares my name, it isn't me!

I'm a big fan of shader programming. This webpage background consists of three WebGL shader passes: 3D Simplex Noise, Color Quantization, and Edge Detection.

The colors on this site all use the OKLCH colorspace, which allows for hue shifting without changes in luminance or chroma. The fonts used are Glacial Indifference and Vollkorn.

I enjoy control and customization of my computer environment. I'm currently running Arch Linux and using Niri, a scrollable tiling Wayland compositor.

I have a stong preference for the command-line interface, and perform the large majority of my work there. I use fish, which has great completions and ergonomics.

My primary editor is Kakoune, a modal editor with a number of very useful features, such as multiple selections and excellent shell integration. I consider it an upgrade within the Vi family of editors.

I'm recording my music listening history to share and keep track of the albums I enjoy. Check out what albums I've been listening to recently.

Against common wisdom, I self-host my email. I use an installation of Maddy to receive email. It was a breeze to set up and I recommend it.
