About Me

Hi there! I’m Ethan!

I'm a dedicated professional with a vibrant background in restaurant management and a burgeoning passion for all things tech. Currently, I’m diving deep into the world of web development, pursuing a diploma in Information Technology at Coder Academy.

My journey began in the bustling environment of McDonald’s, where I climbed the ranks from a Crew Member to a Department Manager. This path wasn’t just about serving up fast food; it was a masterclass in leadership, operational excellence, and delivering top-notch customer service. I’ve managed teams, overseen daily operations, and learned the art of balancing professional responsibilities with academic pursuits.

After a fulfilling stint at Taco Bell Australia as an Assistant Restaurant Manager, I decided it was time to switch gears. The tech world called to me, and I answered by enrolling in a rigorous program focused on web development. It’s a thrilling new chapter where I get to blend my analytical skills with creative problem-solving.

I’m eager to bring my unique blend of management experience and technical know-how to a dynamic IT environment.
