ABOUT NICHOLAS J. NORRIS

I never imagined that I would be pursuing a career in technology.I did not grow up learning how to code, tinker with computers, or worry about Big O notation. I wanted to be a journalist and provide people with an unbiased view of a topic. I wanted to tell a story. Then, I wrote my first \"Hello World!\" program and it was like having an epiphany. Despite the simplicity, it seemed. To draw on an old adage: the more I learn, the more I realize I don\'t know. Technology is an ever-evolving landscape of innovation and progress - new libraries are constantly changing the way we code, open-source software has given companies access to the same tools that companies like Facebook and Google use to run their businesses. It is an age of exploration and uncertainty that I am excited to be a part of!I have experience with C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, fastAPI, C#, SQL, NoSQL and SAS (Statistical Analysis Software). I have used the MEA/RN (MongoDB, Express, Angular/React, Node.js) stack to build server-side and client-side web applications. I have built data visualizations using PowerBI and SQL Server Reporting Studio. And perhaps most importantly, I have adopted the agile mindset in my coding practices.
