James Carter

Meet James Carter. Not THAT James Carter...but this one does live in Atlanta. He wrote his first line of code at age 9, dropped out of high school to become a programmer, and was one of the first software engineers hired at Deloitte. But that’s just his resume. A self-declared ‘proud nerd,’ he’s always chasing (by motorcycle or in his racing simulator) the next thing that’ll light up his brain.

Hot tip: Ask him about his ducks.

“That first line of code lit my brain up and I wanted more.”

James Carter, a distinguished Engineer at Deloitte, wears glasses and smiles as he looks off camera.

“The Innovation Lab was a black ops development shop buried deep in the heart of a Consulting firm.”

James tests a device that he programmed years ago to play sounds as you press buttons. Good news, it still works!
James writes on a whiteboard during a brainstorming session with his colleagues.

“We ship it.
Ship it real good.”

A yellow rubber ducky sits on James’ desk next to a coffee cup as he works.

“I’ve really become passionate about growing the next generation of software engineers.”

James is seen through the screens of his car racing simulator.

“Humans are the innovators, we come up with the big thoughts, the vision.”

“Getting out in the world and doing things makes my brain happy.”

James wears a helmet as he rides his motorcycle through the countryside of Georgia.
