Years

I'm Alex Morgan — a full-stack developer based in San Francisco, obsessed with building digital products that are both technically excellent and genuinely beautiful to use.

With 6+ years shipping production software, I've worked across early-stage startups, mid-size product teams, and solo consulting engagements. My sweet spot is the intersection of engineering rigor and design craft — products that perform well and feel great.

When I'm not writing code, I'm writing about it. I publish technical deep-dives on React architecture, performance optimization, and developer tooling.
