Hi, I'm Ethan. I'm a student from rural Appalachia studying CS + Math at Harvard University. In 2025, I was a Summer of Nix Fellow at the NixOS Foundation. I also did some IT work on the side. My latest hobby is Amateur Radio where I'm active in 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 some 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.

At Harvard, I am on the Technology Board at The Harvard Crimson. I'm also active in the IOP as a Staff Writer for the Harvard Political Review and a debater in the Harvard Political Union.
