About me (Chris Morgan)
This content was ported from my old website with some updates, but it’s rather long in the ear—half of the form of it is more than ten years old. I will replace it entirely at some not-distant point.
I am Chris Morgan. (I hope you had already grasped that fact.)
I grew up in Melbourne, Australia, then moved out to a nice tiny country town in western Victoria (where it was peaceful and quiet), then in 2024 moved to Hyderabad, India (where it is not peaceful or quiet!), to marry.
The most important thing about me is that I am a Christadelphian: I enjoy conversation about my faith and the Bible immensely, and invite you to talk to me about it. What follows is merely how I spend a lot of my time, and is very distinctly of secondary importance in my life.
I speak and write Australian English by default, but I can switch to writing American English without difficulty. I’m not too shabby at Indian English, either. With computers
Some of my current tools of choice: Vim, Rust, HTML, CSS, Firefox, Arch Linux.
I consider myself a generalist mostly-web developer.
Professionally, I’ve been freelancing for some years, with a variety of projects including Rust training, Rust development and website development. My most recent traditional job was with Fastmail until 2020; I worked primarily on their web frontend products (and continue to use and recommend them for email). One of my great joys when working with others has ever been working on tooling and making people’s lives easier—developers, support providers, anyone else.
Personally, I’ve done various web frontend, web backend, and non-web programming.
I wrote the first de facto standard HTTP library in Rust, rust-http, back in 2013. It ultimately headed down a dead end and is long retired now, but I’m toying with new concepts for HTTP server library, in connection with this website.
I may be available for hire for consulting, training, &c. at present; contact me if you’re interested.
