  • Client

    Noel helped transform our business development initiative by "freeing the mind" and using Claude and AI tools in ways I never thought possible. His insight into the trajectory of AI is unparalleled, and most of all, I appreciated his patience in working with a group who had every little Claude/AI knowledge. In one week, we have already been able to shift 90% of our reach-out function to Claude, in addition to marrying AI with more conventional tools. I would highly recommend using Noel and his expertise in navigating the usage of AI.

  • Client

    Noel worked with our team to find where AI could realistically improve our business operations, and the value was clear from the beginning. He has a deep and up to date understanding of AI, and he is very good at turning that knowledge into concrete and workable recommendations that fit how our business actually runs. He is also an enjoyable person to collaborate with. He is approachable, sharp, and always focused on real results. I am happy to recommend him to anyone who wants to bring AI into their business.

  • Over the last three years, Noel has been my absolute go-to resource for navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape. His depth of knowledge across AI and AI infrastructure is matched only by his incredible ability to anticipate where the technology and industry are headed next. Noel truly lives and breathes this space—his real, honest, and hyper-insightful perspectives put him in the top tier of AI thinkers in the market today. Beyond his sharp technical and strategic foresight, he’s simply a fantastic person to collaborate with. If you get the chance to learn from or work with Noel, take it

  • When you work with Noel, his deep thinking and problem-solving skills are immediately apparent. He’s curious about the problem you’re trying to solve and is interested in designing a solution that meets all of your needs. I watched him bring a new product to life at Tembo and race us ahead technologically. I’m excited for the day when our paths cross again

    Associate Director, Product at Third Sector Intelligence
  • I was lucky enough to have Noel on our engineering team during a crucial time in the company's growth. Noel was instrumental in building and improving, not only the products, but also the developer experience. His speed and ability to pick up and vet new technology is unmatched. Not only is he a great engineer, he is also an amazing team player always looking to level up those around him.

    Chris Spencer
    CTO, EdgeOnDemand
  • Noel was an amazing addition to the engineering team at Tembo. He brought skills that were unique to the team and was more than happy to share those skills with his colleagues. I appreciated his creativity and innovative approaches to solving complex problems and his commitment to the team and to the organization. I know he'll be a tremendous asset to any company that is lucky enough to hire him.
    David Stewart
    Entrepreneur, Angel Investor, Adventure Traveler
  • 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.
    Kevin Johnson
    CEO at Instapull.io
  • 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.
    Seth Rhoades
    Software Development, Industrial Biotechnology
  • 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.
