My name is Ethan Paul, and I am an engineer working in tech! I graduated as a part of
|
|
|
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">Worcester Polytechnic Institute</a>'s
|
|
|
|
|
Class of 2017 with a degree in

I am an avid outdoorsman, a former Boy Scout, and had a lot of fun getting my

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 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">WPI</a> 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 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">Starry, Inc</a>. I like
|
|
|
|
|
hiking, mechanical design, and literary theory. I'm a

like canoes very much).

My interests are pretty varied and constantly changing, but most often you
|
|
|
|
|
can find me programming in
|
|
|
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.python.org">Python</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
learning about practical repairs to internal combustion engines, or answering

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
|
|
|
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.python.org">Python</a> 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
|
|
|
