Senior🎓
Top SchoolNoelle Leigh is a software developer in Indianapolis with 11 years of experience building reliable data pipelines, web tools, and integrations for both enterprise and open-source projects. With a Computer Science degree and a background as a data engineer at Rolls‑Royce, she has built automated Python/Oracle pipelines, comprehensive data-testing suites, and web-based monitoring tools while acting as a de facto DBA. She currently develops full‑stack solutions and contributes to open-source—most notably enhancing the strawberry-django extension to better surface Django model metadata in GraphQL schemas and improve error handling and test coverage. Comfortable across back-end systems, databases, and light web work (including WordPress), she combines practical production experience with attention to testability and maintainability. An unexpected detail: her personal projects have migrated to SourceHut, reflecting a preference for minimalist, developer-focused tooling.
