What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my practical solar delivery, QA testing, and web development experience in roles where I can solve technical problems, deliver quality work, and collaborate with clients and teams.

I founded Carter Energy Solutions, where I lead solar consulting and installation projects for homes, factories, schools, farms, and clinics—from system design through SSEG-compliant installation and quality compliance.

Alongside solar delivery, I’ve completed remote QA work with Testlio and uTest, executing manual, regression, API, agile, and cross-browser testing. I also design, build, and deploy client websites using Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT, managing requirements through production.
