Hey, I'm Ethan
Data Architect @ Eli Lilly | delta-rs Maintainer | Open Source Contributor | Lakehouse Enthusiast
I'm passionate about building the next generation of data infrastructure. By day, I architect analytics platforms in the pharmaceutical industry. Outside of work, I contribute to open source and stay hands on with the systems shaping modern data platforms.
What I'm Building
daxis-io/arco
Serverless lakehouse infrastructure - I wanted to explore the idea of having a file native catalog with execution first orchestration. This could be the key to how we build, govern, and deploy data platforms without heavyweight control planes.
