I'd just like to welcome, and thank you for taking interest in my life. My name is Carter Powell, a graduate of the University of Nebraska who has spent his entire life obsessed with technology and the mathematics behind it. During my adolescence loving mathematics and logic based problems, my father helped spark my curiosity in computing by letting me build his desktop at 12 years old. From then on I knew what I wanted to do with my life; however, throughout the stages of my life, I have also found other passions I enjoy that has shaped who I am today.
One of those passions is my love for music. Starting in middle school the students in my class and I were given a choice in art credits and I chose to play in the concert band. This originally mandatory course turned into a major part in my life as I loved to express myself through music. Since taking that very first concert band course, I've played trombone for 13 years in concert band marching band, and pep band including fulfilling my ambitions in playing in the Cornhusker Marching Band for 4 years. On top of this, playing trombone also has given me the opportunities to perform in Carnegie Hall in New York as well as the Rose Bowl Parade in 2017 and the New York Saint Patrick's Day Parade in 2019. These experiences helped me grow as an individual and showed me the work required to perform at the highest levels.
Another passion of mine in college was being involved as a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity. In this fraternity I learned many skills and lessons that my other passions/education never taught me. In this organization, I started as a new member and immediately took a leadership role as the Alumni Chair for the first year. This allowed to reach out to many of our beloved alumni and build connections early in my undergraduate degree. The second year, I chose to take a different responsibility to assist in the transition of new members as Recruitment Chair. This helped build off the original skills of making connections. By my third year my work for the fraternity had been acknowledged and even though I had a busy schedule with my commitments to my double major and the Cornhusker Marching Band I was elected to the Executive Board of the fraternity as Exchequer (treasurer). By the end of my time as Exchequer, our fraternity had its first year not in debt in 5 years and hasn't been in debt since. The leadership and life lessons taught to me in the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity is something I'll never forget.

Goal with Planned Project:
Goal with Planned Project:
Build an application in a subject non-technology related, but in a subject I personally have a lot of interest in. Trying to get more experience in large-data modeling and APIs.
Put together the knowledge and experience gained within the last six years of college to build a full application from the ground up. Build upon my knowledge of full-stack development and further my understanding on proper practices not entirely focus on one aspect of the development process.
