Hello! Thanks for stopping by.

My name is Norris Kwan and I am a Software Developer and Coach. I am currently in SF.

I enjoy brainstorming ideas, solving bugs, and creating functioning, aesthetically pleasing interfaces. My skills include React and React Native, Redux, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, HTML, CSS and a few others. Explore some of my projects below and feel free to get in touch!

Django handles our backend: serving APIs, ensuring security, and handling auth. OAuth was implemented to allow login through 3rd party platforms. React Native is used for our frontend, mobile framework. Expo.io is a tool that allows us to build and share native applications across iOS.

Chrome Extensions

I Love Reddit Chrome Extension

I Love Reddit

Github: ILoveReddit


I initially created this extension as practice. While I was looking for a free API, I discovered that Reddit allows you to append .json to any URL to it will return JSON data! So I decided to make a quick options page and parse the data into a formatted table. I would like to spruce it up once my immediate projects are complete. Reddit is awesome.

Inspire Me Chrome Extension

Inspire Me

Github: Inspire Me


This simple extension uses the Forismatic API to display an inspirational quote every time you open a new tab. Figured we could all use a bit of wisdom before surfing the web.

New Page Instagram Chrome Extension

New Page Instagram


This extension allows you to input 5 public accounts of your choice. It then parses the response into a list of recent photos per account. One day, I'd like to add auth so users can see private accounts and interact with the post, such as liking and commenting.
