Ethan Ruitenberg

Versatile full-stack software engineer with years of experience building scalable web apps using Ruby on Rails, React, and PostgreSQL. Proven success leading major feature development and tech migrations, integrating third-party APIs, and streamlining codebases to reduce support tickets. Experienced in small, fast-moving teams where I wear multiple hats across development, infrastructure, and product collaboration. Passionate about clean code, usability, and continuous learning.

I’m a full-stack engineer with professional experience building and maintaining Ruby on Rails and React applications backed by PostgreSQL. I’ve worked end-to-end across the stack, writing technical designs, shipping features, and collaborating closely with teammates to keep projects moving smoothly. I care about writing clean, maintainable code and building products that make a real impact.

I graduated from Calvin College with a bachelor’s degree in education. After a few years, I found myself increasingly drawn to software engineering and decided to take a year to fully commit to learning it. Once I started coding seriously, it clicked, and I haven’t looked back since.
