Top SchoolCurtis Carter is a Senior Software Developer with over 10 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining cross-platform .NET and polyglot enterprise applications across server, desktop, cloud, container, and mobile environments.

He advanced from support and QA roles into senior development by designing test DSLs, converting manual tests to unit/integration/E2E suites, and authoring onboarding documentation and training. An active open-source contributor, he implemented multi-protocol cloning, UI improvements, and startup optimizations for the popular Git Extensions project, showing attention to performance and edge cases like case-sensitive remote URLs. Comfortable in C#, Java/Kotlin, VB.NET, SQL, TypeScript and front-end technologies, Curtis pairs pragmatic engineering with a focus on developer experience and operational resilience. Largely self-taught in software engineering, he brings a continual-learning mindset and a knack for translating complex requirements into maintainable systems.
