Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarter Himmel is a founder and full-stack software engineer with seven years of experience building scalable data services, CI/CD workflows, and customer-facing products from Austin, Texas. He designs and ships backend systems in Rust and Python, builds reusable GitHub Actions, and has led adoption of gRPC layers and query frameworks for high-throughput Scylla clusters. Carter has a history of shipping high-impact developer tooling and production bots—running flagship services across hundreds of Discord servers and contributing backend fixes and API features to the popular discord.js library. More recently he’s been applying AI agents and real-time media (LiveKit) to automate front-desk workflows and is building neighborhood-focused social tooling as founder of Neighbora. Comfortable owning projects end-to-end, he blends hands-on coding with operational rigor—implementing observability, payment integrations, and serverless patterns—and is known for pragmatic API design and attention to long-term maintainability. An occasional "silly chicken" on GitHub, he pairs a playful persona with serious engineering results.
