Summary
Ethan Sletteland is a Director of Engineering with 11 years of hands-on full-stack experience and a strong front-end sensibility, now leading engineering at Scoot from Eugene, Oregon. He specializes in clean, accessible design across the stack—semantic HTML, performant CSS, RESTful APIs, and normalized databases—while driving migrations from legacy frontends to modern ES6 tooling and server-side rendered, SEO-focused architectures. Ethan has a track record of upgrading complex systems (RequireJS → Webpack/ES6, Angular → React/TypeScript), improving performance and compliance for international launches, and embedding testing and CI/CD practices. He pairs pragmatic technical leadership with solo ownership when needed, having shipped platforms for education, healthcare, and e-commerce, and brings a user-centered accessibility mindset informed by working directly with low- and no-sight colleagues. Not obvious from the title: he’s equally comfortable in backend languages (Python, Scala, Kotlin, Node) and has deep operational experience from maintaining production MySQL and Red Hat server infrastructures.
