Design engineer building interactive experiences.

I build web products with React, Next.js, Svelte, and GSAP. Motion, performance, and detail, not just a visual refresh.

The work

I build web products that feel considered. Fast, animated with purpose, and engineered to last.

I'm Carter, a design engineer working across the full stack. My strongest work happens at the seams: where interaction design, performance engineering, and production infrastructure meet.

What I build

Core capabilities

01

Frontend Engineering

Production-grade React, Next.js, and SvelteKit work. Design systems, motion, accessibility. Not just shipping pages.

02

Interactive Experiences

GSAP, Framer Motion, Three.js. Scroll-driven storytelling, physics-based UI, and performance-first animation.

03

Full-stack Web

End-to-end product builds. Postgres, Supabase, Stripe, Resend, serverless. API design through to the final pixel.

04

AI Integrations

LLM features that actually fit the product. Streaming UIs, agents, retrieval, wired into existing workflows.

How I work

Discovery to ship.

Discover.

I start by understanding what you're actually trying to do. The audience, the business model, the constraints. Before any design, before any code.
