👋 Hi, I’m Forrest Morrisey

I’m a Senior AI Software Engineer with a strong focus on front-end and UI systems, backed by full-stack experience and a deep interest in building clear, durable, high-performance user interfaces.

My work sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and systems thinking—turning complex workflows into intuitive experiences that scale. I bring the same craftsmanship to my personal infrastructure lab, Rainier, where I design, build, and operate self-hosted production systems.


🧭 About Me

  • Former Software Engineer at GE HealthCare, working on next-generation MRI workflow software in regulated environments.
  • Feature owner for multiple research and service tools, collaborating closely with UX, product, and QA from concept through delivery.
  • Strong advocate for accessibility, developer experience, and performance, including:
    • Reducing CI/CD pipeline execution time by 57%
    • Automating integration workflows to eliminate 95% of recurring manual effort
  • Background in Anthropology and STEM Education, which informs my user-centered approach, communication style, and systems thinking.
  • Actively building and documenting personal projects spanning front-end architecture, backend systems, DevOps, and AI tooling.
