Summary
Ethan Jarrell is a co-founder and lead software engineer with 9 years of experience building scalable, secure full-stack web applications using React, Node.js, Postgres, and AWS. He’s delivered measurable performance gains—like halving query response times—while architecting multi-tenant access control, OTA fleet management for Raspberry Pis, and real-time pipelines with strong security and observability. Comfortable shipping end-to-end systems, he also mentors junior engineers and improved CI/CD and MTTR across teams. Beyond production work, Ethan pursues curious side projects—agent-based economic simulations, neural nets that guess song lines, and a FAISS-based semantic scripture search—that reflect a pragmatic yet playful approach to engineering. Based in Chapel Hill, he blends startup grit with enterprise experience to turn complex problems into auditable, reliable solutions.
