- 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 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. +
- 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.
