Who I Am

- My name is Ethan Paul, and I am an engineer working in tech! I graduated as a part of - Worcester Polytechnic Institute's - Class of 2017 with a degree in - Mechanical Engineering. - I am an avid outdoorsman, a former Boy Scout, and had a lot of fun getting my - SolidWorks Certified Professional Certification - (even though I don't actually use it). I'm also a - Type 1 Diabetic - who enjoy's - hacking my OmniPod insulin pump, - and I can make a mean omelet (if I do say so myself). + Well that's a complicated question to open with. How do I sum that up into a nice, neat blurb for the + internet? I can start with some simple easy to categorize attributes, that seems to be the usual + approach. +

+ I was part of the WPI Class of 2017 and graduated + with a degree in mechanical engineering. My job is completely unrelated to my degree: I work as a + Site Reliability Engineer at Starry, Inc. I like + hiking, mechanical design, and literary theory. I'm a + Type-1 Diabetic, I have a + SolidWorks Professional Certification, + and have accidentally flipped over very-nearly every time I've ridden in a canoe (bonus fact: I don't + like canoes very much).

My Interests

+

What I Like

- My interests are pretty varied and constantly changing, but most often you - can find me programming in - Python, - learning about practical repairs to internal combustion engines, or answering - hypothetical questions on - StackExchange World Building. - I also enjoy reading! Some of my favorite books are Isaac Asimov's - Foundation Trilogy, - Patrick Ness' - Chaos Walking Series, - F.Scott Fitzgerald's - The Great Gatsby, - and just about anything written by - Michael Crichton. -

+ Oof, and I thought the last section was difficult. I don't like talking about myself, in case that wasn't + obvious. Shoot, that's more of a personal detail, should it have gone in the last section? Whatever, + moving on. +

+ My interests are somewhat varied and changing all the time, but consistently my main interests are in + solving problems and learning about how other people solved problems. I like the + Python programming language, the history of 19th and + 20th centuries (particularly related to industry), and figuring out how to keep older cars working well + past their intended retirement date. I also like books! The + Foundation Trilogy + (Isaac Asimov), + The Great Gatsby + (F.Scott Fitzgerald), and + Chaos Walking + (Patrick Ness) are some of my favorites. +

What I Do

- I do lots of things! I work at - Starry Inc, - volunteer with - Minds Matter Boston - as a youth mentor, and give excessively passionate tours at the - Boston Metropolitan Waterworks Museum. - I also enjoy programming, urban and trail hiking, fixing my aging car, and maintaining - my homelab equipment and systems. + Ok this is the easy one, I do lots of things! I volunteer with + Minds Matter Boston as a youth mentor and give + unnecessarily enthusiastic tours at the + Boston Metropolitan Waterworks Museum. I also + work on a few open source software projects, try to travel when and where I can, and constantly find new things to + break fix on my car.
