This answer may be controversial and it hinges on you having stated that your "work speaks for itself"... If you assume the tech industry has a bias towards men, then not stating you are a woman would actually be beneficial to you in this case, no? On the other hand, if you assume there is no such bias towards men, then why the need to stress that you are a women? Maybe you want to positively influence society by being a woman and publishing in the tech world (this is great!). But I propose you do that without using the fact that you belong to a minority but by your merits. Otherwise this could backfire and some people might start to assume that contributions from a minority group exist despite low quality. Though I understand the issue might not be that simple As a side note, Morgan sounds pretty feminine to me, but again, I am not a native english speaker
