More about Carson

Web Developer & Lifelong Tech Tinkerer

Carson is a Web Developer at SEO Locale with a degree in Computer Science from Penn State. His interest in technology started long before he ever considered turning it into a career. He has always been someone who likes figuring out how things work, experimenting with technology, and occasionally taking things apart just to see if he could put them back together again.

It Started With the Family Computer

Carson has been interested in computers for as long as he can remember. He started tinkering with the family computer at a young age, much to his parents’ chagrin, and built his first gaming PC when he was just 10 years old. That early curiosity grew into a genuine interest in technology, software, and programming. Web development eventually became the perfect place to put those interests to work, combining technical problem-solving with the satisfaction of building something from the ground up.

Gaming Is Kind of a Big Deal

Outside of work, Carson is an avid gamer and enjoys everything from RPGs to MOBAs. He also has a love for card games, particularly Magic: The Gathering and Riftbound. Whether he’s exploring a massive fictional world, working out the right strategy, or building a deck, he gravitates toward games that give him plenty to think about and even more to master.

Fantasy, Sci-Fi & Very Tiny Armies

That love for imaginative worlds doesn’t stop with gaming. Carson is also a fan of fantasy and science fiction and enjoys getting lost in a good book whenever he has the chance. He’s equally at home in the Warhammer 40K universe, where he spends his time painting models and getting them battle-ready. It’s a hobby that requires creativity, patience, and an impressive amount of attention to some very tiny details.

Always Something to Build

Whether he’s working on a website, upgrading a computer, building a deck, diving into a new game, or painting his latest Warhammer model, Carson has always enjoyed hobbies that give him something to figure out. That combination of curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving has followed him from the family computer all the way into his career in web development.
