Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEthan Stewart is an experienced software engineer with nine years of progressively senior roles at AMD, currently an MTS Software Development Engineer in Austin, Texas. He combines strong client-facing and project management skills with deep hands-on engineering, particularly in backend build and release work—evidenced by contributions to the high-profile spack package manager where he improved ROCm package recipes, build environments, and patching. Comfortable coordinating internal and third-party deliverables, he brings reliability, clear communication, and a track record of reducing technical debt through versioning and build fixes. His background spans web development to systems engineering, giving him a practical full-stack perspective on shipping robust infrastructure. Unusually for an engineer focused on builds, he also draws on sales and leasing experience to keep stakeholder needs central to technical solutions. He holds a Master’s in Computer Science from Texas State and a BA in Sociology from UT Austin, blending technical depth with human-centered problem solving.
