Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Shepherd is a seasoned full-stack software engineer with 12 years of experience building Java/Spring and JavaScript (React) web applications that make climate and scientific data accessible and actionable. He has deep domain experience across all major climate data sources—model distribution, satellite-derived climate records, and in situ/paleoclimate datasets—bringing both backend APIs and interactive visualizations to production. At NOAA he led development of station metadata, paleoclimatology, and ingest systems, and now applies his skills to mission-critical web systems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Comfortable moving between legacy scientific code (C, Fortran) and modern stacks, he often bridges research and operations to operationalize data products. Based in Pleasanton, CA, he pairs rigorous MS-level CS training with a pragmatic focus on usability and data stewardship. A less obvious strength is his history of modernizing how climate data are distributed and integrated, from BitTorrent-era tooling to contemporary web services.
