PROFILE

Ethan Look-potts

Over a two-month period, contributed to viamrobotics repositories by building foundational hardware control APIs and streamlining frontend infrastructure. Developed new Button and Switch component interfaces and clients in TypeScript and Go, enabling robust hardware interaction and comprehensive test coverage across the viam-typescript-sdk, api, and rdk codebases. Introduced a Robot Version Information API and modernized service exports, aligning SDK and gRPC service definitions using Protocol Buffers. Additionally, simplified the RDK frontend by deprecating and removing obsolete web components, reducing build complexity and maintenance overhead. Focused on maintainability, the work emphasized API design, CI/CD improvements, and cross-language component development.
