Ethan Comley | Creative Technologist

Active Technical Solutions Lead

Hi, I'm Ethan.

I build solid systems and capture real stories.

A hybrid technologist and creative director based in Greenville, SC — part CTO, part IT specialist, part photographer. I keep the infrastructure running, then pick up a camera and make something worth looking at.

About Me

As a hybrid Technical Specialist, I combine operations management with programming skills to solve complex organizational bottlenecks — whether that's acting as CTO & Co-Owner of Pleasantburg Beverage Company, advising C-suite executives at 6AM City, or scaling hardware infrastructure for 130+ people.

Off the clock, that same attention to detail shows up behind the camera — wildlife, landscape, and portrait work across the Upstate, with directing and video production currently in the works too.

Comley Nexus

The platform behind this site

One login. Every Comley product.

I designed and built Comley Nexus — the shared identity, billing, and admin layer under Nexus CMS and Nexus Field: one sign-in, one permission model, one design system across every product.
