ethan

I'm Ethan, a software engineer based in San Diego, California. I've been freelance for nearly five years, and have had the opportunity to work in everything from Mental Health to Defense to Apparel. I focus primarily on top down optimization--not just in a service or model, but as a structural necessity for any successful engineering endeavor. I've walked into far too many half-baked projects, and those that succeed do so because the shitty underlying issues are solved first.

Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, hiking, and spending an evening out with my amazing partner Madison.
