SOFTWARE ENGINEER — NEW YORK
Ethan Ratnofsky.
Full-stack engineer in New York. I draft with a designer's eye, build with an engineer's hand — and refuse to lose a pixel in between.

About
Engineer by trade, draftsman by temperament.
I grew up in Newton, MA, studied computer science at Vanderbilt, and now build software in New York — the whole stack, with particular joy in the parts people touch.
Before that: nonprofit platforms with Change++ (leading a team of five), two summers in AbbVie's Bioresearch Center, and a student government app that made it to the App Store.
Off the clock I shoot film, draw letterforms, and keep this site pixel-perfect out of principle.

“Ships like an engineer; sweats pixels like a designer. The bar for 'done' moved when he joined.”
“Pull requests that read like documentation — screenshots, edge cases, the why. Reviewing them was the easy part.”
“Half engineer, half art director — he'll argue kerning and query plans in the same standup.”
“Led five of us through a real production launch while still a student. The nonprofit still shows it off.”
“Five engineers, one semester, zero drama. He ran it like he'd shipped for years.”
“The scraper broke every August. Ethan's rewrite hasn't — ask how many leases it found us.”
“Asked him to 'just tweak the logo.' Received a full identity system with usage notes. Kept all of it.”
“I've taught a lot of capstones. Very few students leave the client planning around their availability after graduation.”
“The demo crashed four minutes before judging. He fixed it in three and still narrated the slides like nothing happened.”
“Gave him the vaguest brief of my career — 'make it feel less like a spreadsheet' — and he came back with exactly that.”
“Every review he left made the codebase a little easier to walk into. That's rarer than shipping fast.”
“He asked for the gnarliest data cleanup we had, then automated himself out of the assignment by July.”
“Our club site went from a shared doc of broken links to something we still brag about at the involvement fair.”
“Took the messiest ticket in the backlog and came back with a diagram, three questions, and a fix. First-year students don't usually do that.”
