Michael Yeaney is a Director of Technical Research and Innovation with 13 years of professional experience designing and delivering distributed, cloud-native systems across regulated industries, academia, and manufacturing. He blends hands-on architecture and leadership—driving cloud migrations, federated identity, real-time decision-support, and high-scale data platforms—with a practical grounding in Lean/Six-Sigma environments. Michael applies formal methods (including TLA+ and logical-time models) to reduce development risk and reason about concurrency and uncertainty before code is written. His background spans mainframe integrations to multi-master distributed storage, and he has repeatedly transformed monolithic RDBMS solutions into cost-effective, scalable cloud architectures. Known for boosting performance by orders of magnitude and building resilient CI/CD and hybrid-cloud strategies, he also mentors teams to adopt streaming analytics and machine-learning workflows. Based in State College, PA, he pairs deep distributed-systems theory with pragmatic product delivery in tightly regulated contexts.
