Top SchoolMike Russell is a Senior QA Engineer with 11 years of cross-functional experience spanning QA, DevOps, software and data engineering, currently ensuring product quality at SUSE.

Mike has executed large-scale storage migrations and NVMe rollouts, designed CI/CD pipelines, and increased test coverage across cloud and bare-metal environments. Comfortable across languages and stacks (Java, Python, Go, Elixir) and cloud platforms, he excels at turning messy legacy systems into reliable, documented services. Outside engineering he contributes to community projects and volunteer efforts, reflecting a practical, people-centered approach to solving technical problems.
