Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBirger Schmidt is a pragmatic Quality Assurance Engineer with 8+ years focused on automation, cluster testing and production-grade QA for Linux and SAP HANA environments. He brings deep hands-on experience from SUSE in openQA-driven test automation, infrastructure-as-code and multi-machine HA/cluster validation across bare metal and cloud platforms. Comfortable working remotely and leading data-driven go/no-go decisions, he pairs scripting (Perl, Python) with orchestration tools like Ansible and Salt to turn flaky tests into reliable metrics. Earlier roles span L3 engineering, consulting and embedded firmware, giving him rare end-to-end visibility from low-level systems to large-scale monitoring and scaling. Based in Germany, Birger blends academic grounding in computer architectures with a long track record of improving test reliability for mission-critical infrastructure. An understated strength is his knack for converting operational monitoring data into actionable product decisions rather than just pass/fail reports.
