It’s rare that you come across a standout like Noel. Ridiculously efficient is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Noel. Noel expertly filled the role of a proactive developer who took initiative to solve problems when product requirements were either lackluster or insufficient. I was particular impressed by Noel’s ability to handle even the toughest assignments under stressful deadlines. Noel would be an asset to any team.

Impressed with Noel's technical breadth and depth. He not only is able to speak to current advancements and trends across the full stack, he speaks from real skill development and implementation. Fast learner and exudes directed curiosity.

Though I've only worked for a short time with Noel, and our work overlapped only occasionally, it's impossible not to offer an enthusiastic recommendation of him and the work he does. Noel is a deeply focused and curious engineer, always intent on unearthing the right solution for a problem, not simply a solution that'll "work for now". He's thoughtful about his recommendations, and very good at educating his team members about the process that led him to those recommendations. There's a short hop from his suggesting a solution and his having built and tested that solution. I trust his work because a great deal of care goes into it, and it's been a real pleasure working together. I'm going to miss him, but I can't wait to see what he does next.

Noel was a force to be reckoned with…in a good way. He is extremely well organized, thoughtful, and very dedicated to his craft. I found working with Noel to be a pleasure because he never held back his thoughts and could always back them up with well-reasoned arguments. As a group, we thrived because of Noel’s talents, and i would cherish an opportunity to have him on my team again.

It was a pleasure to work with Noel to build products for our customers. His ability to bridge the gap between technical and practical knowledge and business needs was extremely helpful to me as a product manager. I would be excited to work with Noel again in the future..

Noel is a great guy to have on your team. We both worked on some technical projects involving Django and Vue and he had a lot of awesome insights. Would love to work with Noel again and I can't wait to see what he gets up to next.

The purpose of this note is to formally endorse Noel Victor as a senior software engineer. I have worked with Noel at Wharton for four years and in short, he has done an amazing job. At Wharton we together on WRDS (Wharton Research & Data Services). WRDS is an award-winning financial research platform, used at top schools throughout the world. At WRDS Noel is responsible for both designing and developing functional applications, based on business requirements, for use on our platform. Some highlights include being the technical lead for our platform's latest research tool. Noel was able to develop a full-text analysis platform, which helps researchers do their job. This project was a major success and WRDS would not have been able to complete the project without him. Noel is a very seasoned developer, who knows how to keep projects on track. He is very independent and self-motivated. Noel is able to develop innovative solutions that are well documented. His documentation allows other developers to easily interact with his code. In short, any team would be lucky to have Noel on their roster. Thank you for reading this endorsement.

I count myself lucky to have someone with Noel’s intelligence, curiosity, talent, and passion in my network.

I've had the pleasure of working with Noel for over three years now. We are both part of the Advanced Initiatives Team at Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS). During this time I have seen Noel take on new high profile initiatives, as well as inherit a range of ongoing projects. As the Senior Software Engineer, Noel is responsible for designing, developing, reporting on, and maintaining a series of interactive web applications that are currently being used in business colleges across the globe. These classroom tools cover a wide range of topics (finance, accounting, macroeconomics, text analysis) and are designed to be either used as classroom demonstrations by professors, or as independent learning experiences by students. Besides the ongoing work on these classroom tools, Noel continues to design and develop new applications for our customers. For example, for professionals doing research in finance, he created a Text Analysis platform that can be used with multiple corpora (e.g., LexisNexis, Capital IQ transcripts) as well as customizable Natural Language Processing (NLP) pipelines. In this and other projects he demonstrates a powerful understanding of how to convey data graphically. Noel has the gift of being able to multi-task in a time-sensitive environment, adapt quickly to new requirements, meet deadlines, prioritize appropriately, and creatively approach tough problems. His enthusiasm is contagious, and sometimes we strive to keep up with him. He is curious, continuously researching; he regularly shares what he has learned, ranging from innovative techniques to new technologies. For example, he spearheaded the effort to start building some of our classroom tools as Jupyter Notebooks. This has since become an important new initiative. Most importantly, Noel is fun to work with. He has excellent communication skills and a strong sense of pride in what he creates.

Noel is a valuable colleague. Noel consistently takes a market oriented approach to delivery while keeping an open mind and holistically reviewing the impact of his architectural decisions. Noel is well versed in patterns and best practices and stays abreast of emerging technologies.

Noel has an excellent eye for seeing the big picture and putting action items into play! He has a great skill set in managing data, coding, and analysis. I really enjoy collaborating with Noel and creating strategies with him.
