Intro

Ethan Shim

As a senior studying Computer Science at Hunter College with hands-on experience in both software and cybersecurity, I've built and deployed full-stack applications, automated vulnerability workflows, and contributed to internal tools for NYC Parks.

Through projects like Rhythma, which supports content creators with a combined reach of 6,000,000+ followers, I'm confident in my ability to build scalable platforms and optimize manual processes. I'm currently learning everything about the world of cloud, which will help me provide a greater impact in my projects and professional life. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I love to talk about everything and anything tech!
