Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCheryl F is a Red Hat Partner Engineer with six years focused on porting and operating OpenShift, Istio and KubeVirt across multi-arch environments, including IBM Z. She designs and automates multi-cluster installers and CI/CD pipelines, builds multi-arch containerized Jupyter/Qiskit stacks, and maintains large KVM and z/VM test fleets for service-mesh validation. Her background spans embedded Linux, large-scale search indexing, and cloud asset tooling, giving her a rare cross-domain fluency from low-level kernel and firmware work to cloud-native orchestration. She also applies engineering craft to artisanal hardware projects—designing open-source battery-powered pH and temperature monitoring for fermented-food producers—demonstrating a practical maker mindset beyond enterprise software. With a PhD-level quantitative foundation and formal machine-learning study at Cornell, she couples rigorous analytical thinking with hands-on systems delivery.
