Morgan Rector - Software Engineer

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Hi everyone! I am an experienced Software Engineer proficient in React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Electron.js, specializing in web and desktop applications. I am skilled in managing the complexities of live data streaming, data visualization, REST API integration, and performance optimization. I am driven by a challenge and love that software engineering allows me to learn something new every day and bring my ideas to life.

I am particulary proud of my fullstack clone of AllTrails, BayAreaTrails! Check out the live version below.

Previous Careers and How They Help Me Be the Best Engineer I Can Be

Before becoming a software engineer, I worked in a variety of careers, including: Marine Science Research and Education, Operations at Tesla, and as a High School Science Teacher and Director of Student Activities. While it is hard to pinpoint just a few things I learned at these jobs, the below is my best attempt to do so:

  • From marine science, I realized my passion for data analysis and how powerful numbers can be. I also realized my passion for conservation, which has allowed me to keep Green Software Engineering practices at the forefront of my mind always.

  • From Tesla, I learned about the power of technology and software and the value of working on a cohesive team that values each other's opinions.

  • From working as a science teacher, I learned how to be adaptable and pick up new skills quickly.

Hobbies

When I am not busy programming, I enjoy wildlife photography, SCUBA diving, ceramics, hiking, running, volleyball, and skiing! I love to spend the weekends outdoors or in the ceramics studio.
