Hello, I'm Ethan

InspiringComputer Engineer

About

I wanted to be an inventor to create and be part of something big. Those ideas influenced me to get a bachelor's degree in Computer engineering from California state university. My experience spans from playing with legos as a kid to working with brilliant minds on nuclear power systems. I've programmed microcontrollers for professors, worked with VBScript in assisting tech writers, and creating Python scripts for SWE managers.

Work Experience

MuseumSoft

July 2025 - December 2025

SaaS Platform for Museum Management

Engineered and maintained full-stack features across ticketing, CRM, membership management, and event scheduling platforms. Designed and implemented RESTful APIs using NestJS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL with comprehensive Swagger documentation to support scalable and maintainable backend services. Developed responsive frontend pages and reusable UI components using Next.js, shadcn/ui, and Tailwind CSS, ensuring consistency across the application. Implemented secure authentication and authorization workflows using JWT with refresh token rotation and role-based access control (RBAC). Designed and deployed a signed-URL file upload pipeline integrated with Google Cloud Storage to enable secure, direct-to-cloud asset uploads while minimizing backend load.

L3Harris Power Pargon Inc

June 2019 - january 2021

Software Engineer Intern

I automated Jira tracking for more than fifty engineering tickets to eliminate manual reporting and improve project visibility for management, integrated and debugged hardware and software for nuclear power systems to strengthen data accuracy and system reliability, maintained an organized Confluence workspace with updated documentation and product architecture, and developed a GUI-based application that reduced manual documentation effort by thirty percent while ensuring consistent and compliant records.
