πŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Forrest Morrisey

I’m a Software Engineer specializing in Front-End and UI Development, with full-stack training and a passion for building accessible, high-performance web applications.

I bridge the gap between design and engineering, turning complex workflows into scalable, intuitive user experiencesβ€”and I bring the same craftsmanship to my personal server lab, Rainier, where I build and self-host my own full-stack infrastructure.

  • 🧠 Advocate for human-centered design, accessibility, and developer experience β€” reducing build times by 57% and cutting routine work by 95% through automation.
  • πŸ“š Graduate of devCodeCamp with a background in Anthropology and STEM Education, bringing empathy and curiosity into every project.
  • πŸ”§ Currently deepening my skills through personal development projects and server infrastructure design (Ubuntu + TrueNAS hybrid workstation).
