Jay Noble is a Software Development Manager at Amazon Kids at Amazon. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Jay during my tenure at Tecplot. He pays great attention to detail and balances the various pressures that come with a responsible role in a development organization. Jay was key in delivering the last several project releases on time and with high quality. He developed important features for the products and helped apply continuous improvement to the system. I believe firmly that he will do very well in the future and go on to greater things" and "During the last 5+ years, Jay's been the go-to person for most of Tecplot 360's data loaders. Programming to third-party vendors' APIs is not glamorous, but it's been essential to Tecplot 360's continued growth. Whether the task has been debugging obfuscated (vendor) library code, correcting (partner) API documentation, or handling cases undefined by, but present in customer sample data, Jay's done it with aplomb. As he's built his repertoire, he's applied his experience towards redesigning Tecplot's data interfaces to allow quicker development of new loaders and less maintenance of the thirty data formats Tecplot supports. In his role as a team lead, Jay's helped adapt the Agile/Scrum methodology to Tecplot's specific needs (versus the other way around). I've very much appreciated his attention to detail. When we've had to make technical tradeoffs, I've been able to rely on his assessment and make quicker decisions. We couldn't have delivered so many quality releases of Tecplot 360 without him."
