About Me

Hi, my name is Ethan Messmer, I'm a software engineering student at Iowa State University and originally from the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I specialize in Java and DevOps work, but am always interested in a new challenge. In my spare time, I enjoy video games, rock climbing, and powerlifting.
