About Morgan Murrah

👋 Hey there! My name is Beau Morgan Murrah.

I reside in Washington State, USA. I like reading, learning and working on interesting projects with teams of people.

I am always learning about web sustainability and some other areas like web performance, accessibility. I have given some talks and produced some materials relating to these focus areas. If you think you might have a good idea in mind for a blog post or research, let me know.
