Summary
Ethan Apodaca is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building and operating cloud-native web and infrastructure systems, currently focused on Kubernetes and AWS at Educational Media Foundation. He blends hands-on Ruby on Rails and systems engineering—migrating legacy services to ECS/Kubernetes, automating deployments, and designing self-healing, real-time audio monitoring for broadcast reliability. Comfortable across the stack, Ethan has built CI/CD, monitoring pipelines ingesting thousands of metrics per second, and production cloud installers and UIs at scale. He brings an attacker’s mindset to security, routinely hardening applications by modeling adversarial input and edge cases. Based in Rocklin, CA, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a persistent drive to polish usability and maintainability for both users and fellow developers.
