Hi, I'm Ethan. I'm a recent high school and community college graduate in rural Appalachia and an incoming student at Harvard University. I work for my school's IT department and do some freelancing on the side. I recently started work at the Summer of Nix 2025 program. My latest interest is Amateur Radio. I enjoy CW, POTA, and DX. Additionally, I am an avid Linux user and have been since early 2020. My experiences with Linux and other FLOSS software has influenced my belief in Free/Libre Software. I encourage you to checkout my GitHub page for an overview of the projects I work on.

Outside of the tech space, I hope to use my experience and skills as a communicator to bridge the gap between science and society. I have a keen interest in political philosophy, economics, history, literature, language, and religion. I believe books help us ask the important questions and teach us to critically analyze the world around us. Being fluent in both English and Spanish helps me connect with those from other cultures and understand them better.
