Summary
Youness Yahya is an API architect and agile TechLead with over a decade of experience designing secure, high-performance web and microservice architectures for large enterprises and public services. He specializes in OpenAPI design, API governance and APIM platforms (Apigee, Gravitee, Kong) and blends hands-on backend (Java/Kotlin, Spring Boot, Node.js) and frontend (React/Angular/Ember) expertise. At OCTO and as a partner at MasterYourAPI he led API strategy, secure-by-design policies and DevSecOps practices, producing ADRs, governance tooling and automation to improve API lifecycle and detect zombie endpoints. He has also worked as an SRE improving production resilience against DDoS and memory/IO issues, and brought measurable DX improvements like faster time-to-first-call and developer portals. Trained in SCRUM, eco-design and accessibility, he mentors teams on craftsmanship (TDD, clean code) and has a track record of migrating monoliths to cloud-native microservices with safe cutover strategies. Quietly, he codes with a craftsman’s attention to detail and has contributed operational tooling—like Gravitee buildpacks and migration scripts—that bridge architecture and delivery.
