Hi, I’m Anthony Morales — a system administrator turned developer who’s passionate about programming, automation, and building things that make technology more useful. At First Washington Realty, I’ve worked on projects like an Appraisal Extraction pipeline that cut hours of manual work down to minutes, and SitePlans, a Next.js platform for interactive property mapping. Outside of work, I love tinkering with side projects and finding new ways to bring ideas to life with code. For me, coding goes beyond merely delivering features — it represents a journey of discovery, refinement, and the creation of systems that have a genuine impact.
Programming is both my profession and my passion — I’m currently reading Learning React: Modern Patterns for Developing React Apps (O’Reilly) and drawing inspiration from the UI Breakfast podcast by Jane Portman. I also sharpen my skills with Frontend Mentor challenges and NodeSchool.io workshops, which keep me focused on building better, user-centered systems.
Outside of work, I make it a priority to stay active and creative in different ways. I enjoy spending time at the gym and going on bike rides, which help me recharge and keep a clear mind. Music is also a big part of my life — whether I’m coding, relaxing, or working out, I’m often listening to some of my favorite artists like The Marías, Eyedress, and Mac Miller.
