About Ethan
Ethan Hardie is an aspiring electronics engineer from Ontario, Canada, with a strong passion for electronics, radiocommunications technology, electromagnetism, and the broader field of physics. His curiosity and drive for learning extend well beyond the classroom, as he actively explores how fundamental scientific principles can be applied to solve real-world problems and build innovative technologies.
From designing small circuits in his workshop to experimenting with radio antennas, Ethan constantly seeks hands-on opportunities to apply his theoretical knowledge. He believes that understanding the "why" behind a concept is just as important as mastering the "how," and he enjoys sharing his insights with others to inspire learning and innovation.
Who is Ethan?
Ethan’s interests extend well beyond electronics and physics. He also enjoys cycling, playing piano, swimming, coding, and building electronic circuits. Many of his projects will be uploaded and featured under the Projects tab on this website. The overarching purpose of this site is to teach others about the fundamental concepts used throughout electronics, engineering, physics, computer science, and mathematics. The Lessons page is dedicated to explaining these concepts from the ground up, while the Projects page demonstrates the practical application of these ideas through hands-on work.
Skills and Certifications
Some of Ethan’s current skills and certifications include:
- Amateur Radio Operator's License – Basic with Honors
- RCM Piano – Level 7 Theory & Practice
- Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Turing (front-end & back-end), Python, & Bash
- Basic experience in C++ & C#
- Proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, & Photoshop
- A2 CEFR French & German
- Grade 9 – Highest course mark in Mathematics & Geography, Honour Roll
- Bronze Medal, Honourable Mentions, & Award for Innovation in Space Exploration at York Regional Science Fair
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Ethan plans to follow an education path involving a Bachelor of Applied Sciences, and eventually a Master’s or Doctorate degree in Electronics Engineering. His current goals include obtaining a private pilot licence, becoming a certified national lifeguard, and achieving an advanced amateur radio licence. He also looks forward to continuing to improve his German language skills and further developing his piano proficiency.
About the Site
This website was programmed entirely from scratch by Ethan Hardie, using a NodeJS runtime environment paired with NextJS for web applications. It is designed to showcase his projects, share lessons on fundamental concepts in electronics, engineering, physics, computer science, and mathematics, and serve as a platform for learning and exploration.
