Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Blanton is an Assistant Professor of Teaching and systems-focused computer scientist with 14 years of professional experience designing and implementing robust systems from microprocessor firmware to Internet-scale applications. He combines academic teaching and research at the University at Buffalo with industry practice as co-founder and senior scientist at Interrupt Sciences, bringing practical system integration and standards experience to the classroom. His background spans networking, real-time systems, and compilers—highlighted by years developing a Java bytecode-to-native compiler and VM for hard real-time systems at Fiji Systems. A long-time free/libre open-source contributor since the mid-1990s, he values durable, elegant engineering and has seen many of his systems run in production. Based in New York, he bridges rigorous research training (PhD-level study) with hands-on consulting and development, making him adept at translating complex system requirements into dependable solutions. An understated strength is his breadth across low-level firmware to distributed application design, enabling him to teach and build systems with both theoretical depth and production sensibility.
