Sarah Novotny is a Senior Systems Engineer and Database Engineer at ads.com. She possess expertise in linux, cloud computing, unix, databases, mysql and 27 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Sarah was one of those CS Reps (and there were many back in the early amazon.com days) I knew was destined for greater things right when we first exchanged emails. I think I criticized a piece of code she had checked in, and she volleyed right back, supporting herself with great enthusiasm and detail. After that I watched her knowledge of UNIX and programming increase rapidly in the next year or two we worked together at amazon. After Amazon I've had the privilege of working with Sarah at one other company (Ads.com), and definitely felt the depth of her IT systems knowledge had only grown (far surpassing my own meager skills). She's also got a good (if warped) sense of humor, which is a real advantage in keeping chaotic and stressful situations from exploding." and "Sara's one of those people who can't see a problem without wanting to fix it. That the fixing might involve rewriting a major piece of software or rebuilding a network isn't going to slow her down. And if she's got to take on the steepest of learning curves, tightest of deadlines (even if self imposed), or most byzantine of architectures, that's only going to be part of the fun. And when she's done, the result will display panache and elegance. A true gem from one of the finest groups of people I ever had the chance to work with."
