About Me

Alex Norris
Full Stack Software Engineer
I'm a software and DevOps engineer dedicated to crafting high-quality, reliable solutions through every stage of development. I specialise in building scalable, serverless architectures on AWS alongside frontend and backend technologies including Angular and Node.js. I have hands-on experience with modern tools such as Terraform, Buildkite and many other development tools to ensure efficient, repeatable, and reliable deployments.

My Story
Travel Enthusiast
There's more to me than just software engineering. I love to travel, hike, and explore the world. It is my goal to visit as many countries and experience as many cultures as possible. I also enjoy photography, capturing the beauty of the world that I see so I can share it with others. One of my favourite places I've visited is New Zealand! The landscapes are breathtaking and the people are so friendly.

My Hobbies
Gaming, Coding and Tech
When I'm not working or travelling, I enjoy gaming, coding and using new tech. I have a passion for technology and enjoy building and upgrading my own gaming setup. I'm always looking for new games to play and new tech to try out.
