About
Built for the problem,

Howdy, Carter is my personal site — the portfolio and notebook of Chris Carter, product and design leader.
I spent 17 years designing at Fortune 500 companies, performing a version of myself the room needed. At 35, I was diagnosed autistic. Now I build unmasked.

Currently: VP Technical Product Owner, AI, JPMorgan Chase — leading the design function for machine learning in operations.
