Computer Scientist, Software Developer, Data Scientist, AI Researcher and Engineer, Entrepreneur
I'm Morgan, and welcome to my personal website. I am a software engineer, web developer, research scientist, teacher, mathematician, entrepreneur, and bold thinker.
I am a skilled software developer, with specific expertise in front-end development, data science and data analysis, neural network engineering, and scientific research. I thrive in fast-paced startup environments where we have to learn and adapt quickly according to business needs. I've done industry work at mid-stage tech startups, angel-stage startups, and fintech and edtech organizations, as both an employee and freelance contractor. My strengths include problem-solving, understanding complex systems deeply, finding unexpectedly useful tools, and goal-directed development with a team.
Most of my technical work has been in AI development, data science, front-end engineering, and research. While my focus has been away from AI engineering for several years, I am adept at using AI tools, doing prompt engineering, and working with software systems with integrated AI.
Please see my resume for more details. My main toolbox includes unix, python, js/ts stacks, functional programming, research methodology, mathematical thinking, algorithm analysis and development, and digesting advanced literature. I've been told I have a strong ability to deeply understand complex problems.
I have a side interest in doing research in high-dimensional statistics, cognitive science, neural network theory, computational neuroscience and bioinformatics. These interests began while I was at Stanford and continued through lab membership with the PDP Lab and independently since.
Nontechnical work includes advocacy & outreach, social work, manual labor, front-of-house, warehousing, meeting facilitator, community space manager, event coordinator, DJ, graphic designer, and teaching and tutoring.
Outside of work, I focus my resources on community engagement, social good, and intersectional justice (especially intersectional LGBT advocacy, racial and socioeconomic justice, and mental health transparency). In my free time, I enjoy art (especially guitar) and doing independent research in theoretical/computational cognitive neuroscience, immunology, bioinformatics, and statistics.
I am genderfluid and it is inappropriate to refer to me using gendered terms. Don't call me he/him/she/her; use they/them instead. Terms such as Mister, actress, dude, bro, Ma'am, chick, etc. are also inappropriate. If I do not correct you, that does not constitute permission or consent to continue using the wrong terms for me. For information about identity terms: transstudent.org/about/definitions/. To learn more and answer questions you might have, I highly recommend browsing YouTube.
To reiterate, I use they/them pronouns.
What's Tao Ke Tao? The Taoist seminal text, the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, begins with the line 道可道非常道 , or in Mandarin pinyin, tào kè tào fēi cháng tào. One translation is, “The Way (Tao) that can be named is not the true Way”; there are also many other reasonable translations. The philosophy of the Tao Te Ching and especially its first chapter highlights my values of mindfulness, critical thinking, and staying adaptible for reaching goals. Plus, somehow 'morganbryant' was a taken username.
