Top SchoolJacob Kozol is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with a decade of experience designing and shipping frontend-first cloud tooling at Red Hat.

A React and PatternFly expert, he pairs hands-on coding with team enablement—planning quarterly roadmaps, mentoring engineers, and driving cross-functional alignment with design, QE, and product. He also manages deployment automation for RPM packaging of on-prem Image Builder, showing a rare mix of UX-driven frontend leadership and platform-level operational tooling.
