Hi! My name’s Ethan, and this is my web page. It’s a nod to the glory of the Internet as I first experienced it between 2000 and 2009.

I’ve been living in New York City since late 2021, having moved here from a lovely place called Somerville, MA, where I lived for almost 8 years. I am a huge public transit nerd and love to ride trains. When the weather’s nice, I like to go on long walks around the city with my headphones in. I’ve been playing music since I was 6 years old; I currently play the viola in a string quartet, and I’ve been known to occasionally noodle around on my red Stratocaster.

I am a programmer by trade, writing most of my code these days in Rust. I particularly like writing systems-level code, paying close attention to the platform for which I’m developing. I’m currently working on on persistence infrastructure at Discord. Before Discord, I worked on database internals at Readyset and on Rust web services at Mozilla.
