Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShaun Yelle is a seasoned technical program leader and executive with 14+ years driving cloud migrations, reliability, and operational excellence across teams from 30-person startups to 10,000+ person orgs. He has a strong track record of turning failing migrations and fragile architectures into resilient, containerized systems while cutting major incidents by ~73% and lowering AWS costs by nearly 50%. Shaun blends strategy and hands-on execution—authoring board-level plans, founding a Principal Engineering Community to amplify the engineer voice, and instituting metrics-driven reviews that shifted decision-making from intuition to data. He’s particularly adept at scaling organizational processes (FinOps, recruiting, career frameworks) alongside technical platforms, enabling services to move to public cloud weeks instead of months. Based in Seattle, he pairs Amazon-era rigor in incident response and business communication training with a talent for revitalizing stalled programs into measurable business outcomes.
