Case Western Reserve University · Computer Science & Finance
I'm Ethan Hunt, a Computer Science and Finance student interested in how software, data, and markets come together.
I enjoy building useful software, analyzing problems, and exploring how technology can be applied within finance.
About
When I'm not in class or at my laptop, I'm probably hanging out with friends, gaming, playing with my three dogs, or talking about stocks with my dad.
I also absolutely love to travel. I recently went to Italy with my family, and I have also been on several cruises where we have gone up to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in Canada, Maine, and we have also taken a couple down into the Carribbean.

Reclaim
A mobile lost-and-found app for campus, built with a small team for my Software Engineering class after realizing how bad the existing lost-and-found process actually was. Students can report, search, and track items as lost, found, or claimed — with campus SSO, map-based tracking, and AI-powered item matching on the roadmap.
Group project — built with a team of classmates.
