Hi, I'm Ethan. I'm a student from rural Appalachia studying CS and Philosophy at Harvard University. I am particularly interested in computer systems, infrastructure, and moral philosophy. I am always looking for opportunities at the intersection of these interests.

Outside of the classroom, I am interested in a broad range of subjects varying from local history, to Amateur Radio, to open source software development. I spend much of my free time contributing to NixOS/Nixpkgs, where I maintain 400+ packages and work on the CUDA, macOS/Darwin, NGI, and modernization efforts. I'm driven to contribute by my belief in FLOSS software. On campus, I help run the Harvard Systems Reading Group. Lately, I've also become increasingly interested in the topic of AI safety.

The Ridge Podcast

I hosted The Ridge Podcast where I interviewed local Appalachians from where I grew up. My guests included more than 100 teachers, historians, journalists, politicians, musicians, writers, and more. Check it out!
