Ethan’s career spans thirteen years delivering enterprise virtualization, cloud architecture, and high-availability data center solutions at Intel, Accenture, and IBM. At Intel, he built and maintained VMware vSphere clusters supporting critical workloads, implemented automation scripts using PowerShell and Python, and upgraded disaster recovery protocols. At Accenture, he led DevOps transformations, integrating CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration to accelerate application delivery. While at IBM, he architected secure, scalable hybrid cloud environments for global clients and devised robust backup and recovery strategies. His collaborative approach and emphasis on automation have consistently driven operational efficiency, tightened security, and reduced total cost of ownership.
Outside of work, Ethan lives simply: organizing his environment, exploring new digital tools, and unwinding with a cup of tea and a non-technical book. He frequently joins online tech talks and continually expands his home lab. For Ethan, technology is more than a career, it’s his passion and a form of self-expression.
