Ethan Lawrie

I build observable cloud tools and operational systems that make complex workflows easier to diagnose and run.

Recent work spans Azure CLI Copilot telemetry, enterprise systems at CMV Group, and Unity games released on mobile and web.

Architecture through release.

Azure systems, developer tooling, and operational software—from architecture and implementation through review and delivery.

CMV Group

Data Solutions Engineer

Adelaide

Build and deploy operational software across Azure, AI-assisted workflows, and enterprise data systems.

  • Architected an incident-reporting platform planned for 2,000+ employees across dealerships and workshops.
  • Turned day-plus share-statement preparation into a batch workflow, alongside serverless ATO reporting and operational capture.

Software Engineering Intern

Azure Client Tools · Sydney

Made AI-assisted Azure CLI workflows observable across handlers, environments, and deployments.

  • Implemented end-to-end Python and OpenTelemetry tracing across multiple AI tool handlers.
  • Defined operational signals, built one filterable Grafana dashboard, and released the work to UAT through pull-request review and CI.
Microsoft case study

Engineering with a product instinct.

Cloud systems and developer tooling lead the work; shipped games and competitive programming show the range behind it.

Portrait of Ethan Lawrie

I care about the point where software becomes something people have to trust, operate, or enjoy.

That has taken me from observability and enterprise workflows to shipped games—different products, but the same attention to clarity, feedback, and reliability.
