I am a passionate developer with a strong desire to learn and grow. I have extensive hands-on experience with a diverse range of tools, libraries, and frameworks, including but not limited to React, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Django, Flask, PostgreSQL, Next.js, jQuery, and AWS. I am also skilled in testing frameworks such as Jest and Playwright, and proficient with Git and GitHub.

I'm open to full-time, part-time, and contract work. Check out my resume. If you think we'd be a good fit, or want to learn more about me, get in touch at jack.norquist@outlook.com.

Born and raised in Minnesota, I graduated from UMD Duluth in 2021 with a degree in marketing and economics. A few years later I was introduced to software engineering by random luck of helping fix a broken WordPress plugin. I quickly realized the limitless possibilites the field has, the mental stimilation that it provides, and the pleasure I found in working with it. I began self learning the fundamentals on the side and I couldn't get enough.

After self studying for a year I decided that software engineering was the career I wanted. I enrolled in a full-stack web development bootcamp. There I learned programming in a professional environment, fundementals of the web, and how to leverage the many libraries, frameworks, and tools available to programmers.

For me, there's nothing a day outside can't fix. I love spending time outdoors through camping, hunting, and fishing most of all. I have fishing poles in my vehicle at all times and I usually can't resist throwing a line in if I see water that may hold a fish. My bucket list fish is a 30inch walleye!

If I'm not outside during my free time, I'll likely be at the gym, playing basketball, or watching football (Skol Vikings!). No one envies a Minnesota sports fan, but I'm proud to be one, and my optimistic delusion restarts at the beginning of every season.

I'm looking for a job that can leverage my skills and passion for software engineering. I stay up to date on the latest technologies, take pride in my work, and am committed to delivering high-quality solutions. I'm eager to conribute to a team with innovative projects and goals.
