:mega: Carter Baxter (veteran of 18F and several government digital services vendors) will be our visiting speaker for the Engineering Community of Practice.
:speech_balloon: Topic: Legacy codebases, balancing old and new, and trying things out
:bust_in_silhouette: Carter was a half-decent software developer before getting shuffled off into manager-land. Most recently he was Chief Agile Delivery Officer for eSimplicity, working mostly on data problems with CMS. Prior to that, he was Director of Engineering for Ad Hoc, working on VA problems, and before that he did a tour with 18F, where he was Director of Engineering and Chief of Practices, among other things. He still likes to tinker with different engineering problems as side projects, like creating a dad joke meme generator with the http://fatherhood.gov API, building Pear, a text comparison tool to dabble in Natural Language Processing. And most recently, he used ChatGPT to modernize MarkItUp after it had been abandoned as jquery declined.
:star: Come learn what keeps Carter coming back to civic tech
