Summary
Ethan Morrill-ploum is a Senior Software Developer with 10 years of experience building scalable SaaS, eCommerce, and data-driven web applications across Python, Go, and modern JavaScript stacks. He has a track record of leading greenfield projects and optimizing performance—delivering a 30% improvement in feed load times and building APIs that support millions of customer-facing reports. Comfortable across cloud-native tooling (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes) and event-driven systems (Kafka, NATS, Celery), he often bridges backend reliability with polished React front ends. Ethan also brings hands-on game and tooling experience from freelance Unity C# work, where he shipped VR multiplayer features and bespoke editor tools. A mentor and pragmatic problem-solver, he focuses on ownership, automation of operational workflows, and measurable impact. Based in Washington, D.C., he’s equally likely to be found iterating on product UX as tuning a ClickHouse query for analytics at scale.
