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

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 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.
