Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Dickerson is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in UI with over a decade of experience building highly interactive web and mobile applications, currently focusing on the oVirt/Red Hat Virtualization front ends. He blends deep full-stack knowledge—JavaEE backends and React/GWT front ends—with practical expertise in high-availability design, REST services, build/test automation, and packaging for enterprise deployment. At Red Hat he contributes to both user-facing React apps and legacy GWT admin consoles, improving UX details such as drag-and-drop auto-scrolling and layout controls in the popular oVirt Engine project. Comfortable across the toolchain, he authors async actions (Redux/Saga or fetch), configures webpack and CI, and automates localization and Ansible extensions. Trained with an MS in Computer Science from SUNY Buffalo, he brings a pragmatic architect’s perspective combined with hands-on UI craftsmanship. Colleagues would note his knack for turning complex virtualization workflows into smoother, more intuitive interfaces.
