Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYann Armand is a Principal Software Engineer and engineering-systems tech lead with 14 years of experience building developer tooling, CI/CD, and validation frameworks to empower full-stack teams at scale. At Microsoft/Yammer he grew and led cross-functional teams, implemented templated Azure DevOps pipelines for 150+ microservices, provisionable integration environments, and metric-driven promotion gates that move changes safely to production. A DevSecOps evangelist who loves automation, he champions API and contract testing, Docker-based ephemeral agents, and shifting ownership from services to feature teams to reduce technical debt and accelerate delivery. Comfortable in Go, Ruby and JavaScript/TypeScript, Yann pairs deep infrastructure craftsmanship with a strong culture focus—he routinely combines pragmatic engineering (e.g., caching docker images to speed CI) with organizational change to keep master always deployable. An oft-overlooked strength is his knack for surfacing architectural issues via early validation so teams can confidently redesign with measurable progress.
