Software Developer at Yonder Cloud, LLC
Bellevue, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorLarry Hitchon is a seasoned software developer with 13 years of professional experience building cloud-native, event-driven SaaS systems—especially on AWS—focused on serverless and container-based solutions. He has led teams and projects from startup VP roles to freelance engagements, delivering resilient architectures using Lambda, ECS/EKS, Kinesis, EventBridge, DynamoDB and infrastructure-as-code tools like CloudFormation and Terraform. Comfortable across Node.js, Python, Go and Ruby, he combines hands-on coding with DevOps automation skills demonstrated by his config-lint open source project and custom pipeline tooling. His background includes high-scale enterprise systems (Amazon warehouse software) and rapid continuous-deployment workflows that pushed features to production within minutes. Based in Bellevue, WA, he brings a pragmatic blend of architectural guidance and implementation muscle, often owning full-stack delivery for analytics and API-driven products. One less obvious strength: he repeatedly bridges gaps between automation, testing and operations to turn complex distributed designs into reliably deployable services.
