Hi, I'm Carter

I'm a senior at Princeton University with a strong interest in networking, software, and cybersecurity. I love art and literature, so I'm also pursuing minors in English and Art History.

I architect and optimize distributed systems end-to-end--kernel, network, and application. Recently, I have been working with eBPF, Golang, RDMA, and compilers (more or less in that order). Starting with Cisco Packet Tracer and retired hardware (Catalyst switches, ASAs) early got me hooked on networking. Current research focuses on incast patterns in the inter-DC context with the NetSyn lab.

My motivation for this site was to reflect on different networking papers and ideas and to promote discussion. After finishing my F24 semester and completing my networking class, I realized I missed having these discussions. In retrospect, this site has become more of a creative outlet at the intersection of art/literature. I really enjoy taking the opportunity to explore oblique, often odd, connections at greater length than transient thoughts.

Here are some quick facts about me-

• I currently work at BoreDM making geotechnical engineering even easier.
• I'm very interested in energy markets. I'm building WattOur to enable a more efficient, cleaner grid.
• I maintain a 26U server rack at my home--I use them to host a few services and maintain a testbed.
• I got hooked on computers in middle school after joining CyberPatriot, I later started programming in high school.
