Austin, Texas, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEthan Houston is a security-focused software engineer with 10 years of experience building developer-friendly access and compliance tooling as an "Alchemist" at Lumos in Austin. He combines hands-on product engineering—spanning backend systems, CI, and ML model deployment—with security-first thinking to help companies provision the right app access at the right time. His background includes research in wireless networking and sports-sensor ML, performance-focused scraping and recommendation work at Chartmetric, and early-stage product leadership as a co-founder managing full stacks on cloud platforms. Comfortable moving between research, internships at startups like Blend, and production systems, he brings a blend of academic rigor (UT Austin CS, 3.8 GPA) and startup execution to hard security problems. An under-the-radar strength is his history of accelerating systems (e.g., 75% faster scrapers) and turning ML prototypes into customer-facing features.
