Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChad Crum is a Senior Software Engineer in Test with eight years of focused experience building automation and reliability into complex networking and systems environments. Based in Fuquay-Varina, NC, he has driven test and automation efforts at Red Hat after a long operational career at Cisco and multiple service providers where he built scripts, web tools, and dashboards that reduced time-to-repair and enabled large-scale migrations. Chad combines hands-on Linux systems and network engineering expertise with a knack for pragmatic scripting (Bash/Python/Perl) and tooling to streamline support workflows and escalate technical issues to resolution. He’s equally comfortable leading cross-functional teams and diving into low-level automation that revived failing projects or automated thousands of device and VoIP changes. Notably, his background blends formal IT consulting and NOC escalation experience with modern test engineering, giving him a rare operational perspective when designing test suites and reliability pipelines.
