Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Yakobi is a senior architect with over two decades of hands-on IT and software experience and 12+ years focused on cloud-native product architecture and delivery. He specializes in building scalable, fault-tolerant systems—Kafka/Cassandra ingestion pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, and high-performance protocol gateways—while relentlessly automating tests and creating simulators to make complex systems reliably testable. His career spans storage and cloud orchestration at NetApp, large-scale IoT/telemetry platforms at SolarEdge, and recent work in security automation at Zafran, reflecting deep expertise across AWS, Azure, GCP and edge devices. A lifelong coder who started at age nine, he combines low-level ops background (system/network admin, MySQL/Oracle DBA) with modern functional and reactive designs (Scala/Akka, Vert.x, Go). He prefers hands-on design and coding over people management and enjoys collaborating with engineers who challenge and teach him new approaches. An early adopter of automation and simulation techniques, he often builds testing frameworks and contextual simulators that dramatically speed up end-to-end validation.
