Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Yaacoub is a Senior Software Engineer based in Cleveland with a track record of building reliable SRE tooling and operational platforms for large-scale distributed systems. With experience spanning IBM and DataStax, he has moved from database benchmarking and automated testing to leading SRE tool design, incident management, and observability integrations that improve reliability at scale. Earlier roles in embedded systems and product startups gave him hands-on firmware, mobile, and cloud ML deployment experience, enabling him to bridge low-level engineering with production SRE workflows. He combines formal training in automation, signal processing, and embedded systems from top French universities with a practical knack for shipping pragmatic tooling and improving day-to-day engineer productivity. An uncommon strength is his breadth across C/C++ firmware, cloud-native pipelines, and SRE-focused developer tooling—making him fluent in both product engineering and operations.
