Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Trost is a seasoned QA and systems professional with 13 years of experience blending hands-on Linux/FreeBSD system administration and automated testing for web hosting platforms. As a longtime cPanel Quality Assurance Analyst II and Product Owner, he designs and maintains Perl-based functional test suites and test frameworks that catch critical build regressions on CentOS environments. His background spans break/fix engineering, Bash/Perl scripting, and operational tooling—having managed datacenter operations, Nagios monitoring, and mail/DNS stacks like Exim and BIND. Based in Humble, Texas, he pairs infrastructure-level troubleshooting with test automation discipline, bringing an operator’s practicality to quality engineering. An understated strength is his history of building small tooling and Nagios plugins that turned intermittent operational pain points into repeatable checks, improving system reliability.
