Stephen Yeung is a software engineering manager in Seattle with 11 years of experience building and assuring large-scale web services, front-end applications, and in-house tooling at companies including LinkedIn and Microsoft. He blends hands-on development (Java, C#, .NET, SOAP/REST) with deep test automation and performance/stress testing expertise, having authored frameworks and test suites to improve QoS and release reliability. As an engineering leader he emphasizes ROI-driven solutions, clear cross-team communication, and mentoring—progressing from test engineer to staff engineer to manager at LinkedIn. His open-source contributions focus on improving JS test tooling and ESLint rules, adding test reporters and richer test context to well-known projects like testem. Not obvious from his title: he has led security and low-cost production-like data solutions to stabilize testing at scale. He holds a Computer Science degree from the University of Waterloo and consistently combines analytical rigor with pragmatic delivery.
