Summary
Ethan Water is a pragmatic software builder and certified AWS Architect based in New York, with three years of hands-on experience that began with an AWS internship and continued through startup advisory and bounty-hunting work. A college dropout who nonetheless pursued formal study in computer science and algorithms at institutions including Stanford, he blends low-level curiosity with cloud-native chops—currently building a synthesizer and contributing to small but impactful projects. He helps startups solve infrastructure and product problems, often leaning into both systems-level detail ("low-level pixelthot") and practical deployment patterns on AWS. Ethan’s profile reflects an unconventional path: disciplined self-education, credentialed cloud expertise, and a taste for creative side projects that bridge hardware, audio, and software.
