About Me
Hi, I'm Ethan, a help desk professional with a passion for software engineering and a drive to build a career path in full-stack and embedded development. I bring hands-on experience with C/C++ and TypeScript, and a genuine passion for building software that solves real problems.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been developing an application from the ground up for Summit Medical, an experience that has only deepened my lifelong passion for software engineering.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, staying active, listening to music, and reading.
I'm actively seeking opportunities where I can contribute, grow, and work alongside talented teams on meaningful projects. I'd love to connect if you think there's a fit.
