About me
Hi, I’m Noelle!
As a Backend Software Developer coming from a solid background in Account Coordination and Client Support, I bring a unique blend of skills from technical skills like SQL, Rails, and CSS to interpersonal skills like project management, cross-functional communication, and leadership.
Background:
In my previous roles, I found that I enjoyed the technical aspects of my client-facing jobs like pulling data for clients via MySQL queries, adjusting client creatives with CSS and HTML, and helping to implement and troubleshoot cookies more and more with each new query, creative, and cookie.
This naturally led me to embrace a career shift into software development. Excited to fuse my client-focused mentality with code, I thrive on creating efficient solutions that enhance the user experience.
Next Chapter:
What’s next for me? I'm glad you asked! My next chapter is focused on moving into the software development scene, expanding my skill set, and contributing to something great.
🌟 Let's connect! Whether you have opportunities to share or want to chat about my experiences, I'm always eager to learn and grow! 🧠

QuestQuill
QuestQuill
Tools Used
QuestQuill was built by a 4 person team of Backend Engineers using Ruby on Rails, CSS, Bootstrap, and OpenAI API. This application uses AI to generate NPCs, Towns, and Quests to help a Dungeon Master create a campaign.
The main learning goals of this project were to explore new technologies and gain experience working on a more stylized front end of our app. The team had largely been working in Ruby and Rails building mostly backend apps with very basic front-end user interfaces.
In this project, we were able to implement:
- Caching
- Stylized pages using CSS
- Mobile-friendly pages using Bootstrap
- OpenAI API prompts within the app
