My name is Ethan Perry and I am a Senior at Wheaton College majoring in Computer Science and Math. During my time here, I have focused my studies on Software Development and Data Science. I aspire to become a Software Engineer, focusing on backend development with API's. I am currently co-creating a college marketplace app using the MERN tech stack, where I am designing a RESTful API to communicate data to our mobile app.

I have enjoyed my experience in courses related to software development like Data Structures, Algorithms, and Full-Stack Web Development. My academic work has given me the expertise to work on full-stack web apps, theoretical algorithmic applications, as well as the collaborative project design process.

Outside of the classroom and academic setting, I really enjoy staying fit and getting outside. I have found a deep passion for hiking, which allows me to delve into the true peace and safety found in the mountains. At school, I live in the Outdoors House and I am a trip leader for the Outdoors Club. In general, I love staying physically fit and I find that setting challenging goals for myself, like running a half marathon or doing a long hike, gives me the confidence to tackled any obstacle in my way.
