About Me
My name is Morgan Redfield. I like to make things, learn about the world, and share
knowledge with people.
I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in electrical
engineering at the University of Washington. Since then, I've worked primarily on
radio electronics and embedded
systems. I ran a consulting business for most of the 2010s, but switched to more traditional
jobs when I realized that I wanted to work on projects with more impact than are usually
available to small consulting firms. These days I'm focused on embedded software for robotics,
whether those robots are going to the Moon or just
down the street.
I try to teach and mentor whenever I'm able. I started out doing math tutoring at a community
college while I was in high school. When I transferred to the UW, I taught computer workshops
through Catalyst, which is now Learning and Scholarly
Technologies. I designed much of the programming and electronics curriculum for
Metrix Create:Space, and taught there for
several years. I also TA'd several embedded systems classes at the UW while I was getting my
Master's. I still make it a point to try to learn and teach as much as I can, and I'm bringing
that passion to my new adventure as a father.
When I'm not working, I'm reading, hiking, or going to
museums with my kids. I try to expose myself to as many
new experiences as possible. I've found that seeing people doing cool things (of any form) inspires
me to do cool things myself. It's the best way of keeping myself motivated.
