Sarah Akus is a Senior Software Quality Engineer with six years of experience who leverages TypeScript, Cypress, Python, and CI tools to strengthen front-end test automation for Red Hat’s Ansible AWX and AAP projects. She combines hands-on test development—improving UI testability and fixing flaky tests—with operational skills in Jenkins and Linux to provision VMs and run regression suites pre-merge. A pragmatic collaborator, she regularly partners with QE and frontend teams to raise automation coverage and stability while monitoring and repairing nightly runs. Her career pivot from a pandemic-era bootcamp into a production role at Red Hat underscores strong adaptability and rapid technical growth, supported by a background in client-facing leadership and process-driven roles that sharpen her communication and stakeholder-management abilities.
