Who am I?
Hey there, I'm NEHA NOOKA! I'm that developer who gets unreasonably excited about clean code and stays up way too late debugging. When not chasing the perfect solution, I'm probably exploring some shiny new tech that caught my attention. My learning style? Dive in headfirst and figure out how to swim while falling! Apparently I'm also learning Swimming.
My code is so meticulously organized they make my sock drawer look chaotic—I've been known to refactor perfectly working functions at 2 AM just because the indentation felt wrong. My superpower? Making complex systems look so simple your grandmother could use them. I believe good documentation is like flossing - everyone knows they should do it, but I'm one of the few who actually does(both!). Currently seeking opportunities where I can build meaningful tech, preferably at places that don't mind the occasional dad joke in code comments. Let's create something awesome together!

TESTIMONIALS
Stacey Brown, MBA, CAS
Chief Image Builder, President at Signarama Silver Spring
"Neha joined us as an intern at Signarama Silver Spring, a custom signage solutions company, where she contributed to a larger initiative to streamline operations and improve customer engagement through the use of technology. Her role was to help develop an internal chatbot (Signbot) designed to reduce the steep learning curve for our sales team by guiding them to ask the right customer questions and recommend appropriate signage options. From the start, she approached the project with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a can-do attitude. I shared the overall vision and a few potential tools I had briefly researched, and she quickly evaluated them—providing a clear pros and cons summary that helped us choose the best solution. After we selected the tool, she worked quickly to build out the logic flows based on the sign-type-specific paths I provided. She delivered early prototypes, made updates promptly, and consistently kept me informed—often adjusting her schedule to meet during evenings and weekends to accommodate my availability. She was dependable, responsive to direction, and able to efficiently turn ideas into working solutions. She demonstrated very strong technical skills and maintained a positive, professional attitude throughout. Her openness to feedback and ability to make quick improvements made her a valuable contributor to the success of the project."
