She drives architecture and long-term maintainability for Ansible Network Content Collections, collaborating with vendors like Cisco, Arista, and Juniper while balancing upstream open-source contributions with enterprise requirements. Her experience spans building CI/CD test infrastructures (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), deploying scalable virtual network testbeds on AWS, and automating large Linux/VDI and HPC environments with Ansible and Puppet. Prior roles in financial and aerospace sectors honed her expertise in clustered storage, performance tuning, and fault diagnosis across UNIX variants and virtualization stacks.
