Hi!

My name is Morgan Gangwere, and I’m a software developer, communications major, and general all-around makery-type on the internet.

My interests vary from topic to topic. Overall, I’ve been focused on

• Information Security/Reverse Engineering/“hacking” – The kind of stuff that DEF CON is known for.
• Software development (Python, Java, C#, etc.)
• Linux administration – embedded, desktop, and virtual.
• Communications studies – “human debugging” – Understanding how people talk to one another.
• Graphic arts – both the arts side of it and general design work.

These have taken me to some interesting places. In addition to my projects, I have done

• Web design and development (you’re looking at it, right now)
• Graphic design (I do all my own logos – 100% of them, and sell stickers on my redbubble)
• Photography and photojournalism (See also, Layer Eight)
• Professional printing (Minor screenprinting experience, as well as high-end and some color matching)
• Electronics design (I know my way around Eagle + kiCad, and have fabbed my own boards)
• Electronics manufacturing (I build custom keyboards for my carpal tunnel)
• Phone repair (I reflowed the SoC on my Nexus 4… For kicks and to make it work)
• Vintage computer maintenance (I’ve worked with 9 track tapes, saved machines damaged by battery corrosion, etc.)
• Metal machining & laser-assisted manufacturing (Read: I’ve worked with a laser cutter and a mill/lathe)
• Woodworking
• Custom deployments of Windows, Linux and MacOS (mostly Windows and Linux) for various needs, including Windows Embedded.
• Linux system administration (I maintain a small number of Linux boxes for fun, but have made sure to keep them up to date and running smoothly.)
