<h2 class="about-title">Who I Am</h2>
<p class="about-text">
My name is Ethan Paul, and I am an engineering student at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wpi.edu/">Worcester Polytechnic Institute</a> studying <a href="https://www.wpi.edu/academics/departments/mechanical-engineering">Mechanical Engineering</a>. I am an avid outdoorsman, a former Boy Scout, and can make a mean omlette (if I do say so myself). I'm also a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/type-1/">Type 1 Diabetic</a> working on joining the <a target="_blank" href="https://diyps.org/">DIY Pancreas</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.openomni.org/">OpenOmni</a> projects.
</p>
<h2 class="about-title">What I Do</h2>
<p class="about-text">
I do lots of things! I work at <a target="_blank" href="https://web.wpi.edu/academics/CCC/Netops/">WPI Network Operations</a> and spent three years as an intern for the <a href="http://www.solidworks.com/">SolidWorks Corporation</a>. I also enjoy programming, urban and trail hiking, fixing my aging car, and squeezing extra life out of decrepit technology.
</p>
<h2 class="about-title">My Interests</h2>
<p class="about-text">
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 hypothetical questions on <a target="_blank" href="https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com">StackExchange Worldbuilding</a>. I also enjoy reading! Some of my favorite books are Isaac Asimov's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46654.The_Foundation_Trilogy">Foundation Triology</a>, Patrick Ness' <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13047567-chaos-walking">Chaos Walking Series</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/5194.Michael_Crichton">just about anything by Michael Crichton</a>.
