Summary
Mark Morgan is a technology-savvy photographer and former software engineer with roughly 15 years of hands-on experience across QA, security, and anti-virus domains, now based in Portland, Oregon. After two decades in IT including senior engineering and QA leadership at McAfee and independent contracting for firms like Intel, he transitioned into animal welfare roles and professional photography, running Lemming Photo since 2009. He brings a rare blend of systems-level testing, cross-platform automation (Perl and Unix-family environments), and visual storytelling that helps turn technical complexity into clear, usable outputs. Comfortable both leading QA efforts and doing field work—rescuing and coordinating animal adoptions during hurricane response—he pairs disciplined engineering practices with practical, mission-driven execution. Returning to the Pacific Northwest tech scene, he is positioned to bridge security-focused engineering with creative media and operational empathy. An adaptable collaborator, he excels at turning legacy processes into repeatable, auditable workflows while keeping user needs and real-world constraints front and center.
