About Me

Hi! I'm Ethan Bond. I'm currently a Computer Science student at the Colorado School of Mines. Aside from computer science, I'm very interested in business, economics, and philosophy. I spend a lot of time working on projects and learning new things. Through these projects I've learned how to effectively lead my peers and communicate technical concepts clearly. This website stands as a portfolio to exhibit some of these projects. Please reach out if you have questions or want to chat!

Projects


Canopy

Co-Founder of Canopy Intelligence

Canopy was a project created in the Hacking for Defense Program at the Colorado School of Mines. I led a team that worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement to create digital tools for the investigative process. We went through the entire process from interviewing stakeholders to releasing a beta version of our software.

1st Place Proposal, Henderson Sustainability Challenge

Took 1st Place in a semester long challenge to propose a way to repurpose a mine expected to close in 20 years. The team I led proposed to reuse the mines facilities as a collocation data center and tech campus to contribute to the community.

Bet Above Web Application

A project to teach myself web development. Made a complete web app where users could create mathmatical models to simulate sports games. The models could be saved, shared, and applied to the NFL games of the current week.

project name

1st Place, NREL Solar Hackathon

Took 1st place in this all day hackathon, in Golden, CO. The hackathon was focused on using the NREL Solar datasets to create something of value for the community and/or environment. Our solution used data science to determine the top 10 public schools in Colorado that would benefit the most from solar panels.

Speech Classifier

This was a solo project, creating a classifier for speeches with political rhetoric. The classifier works based on metrics produced by comparing the input speech to the most famous American political speeches in history.

project name

2nd Place, BattleBorn Hackathon

Took 2nd place at a large weekend long hackathon in Las vegas, NV. The hackathon was focused on using technology to solve problems for Barrick Gold (mining corporation). Our solution helped automate and speed up the process of reporting faulty equipment at a mine/mill.
