About Me

Hi, I'm Hector Yeomans, a full-stack software engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable systems and leading modernization efforts in SaaS companies.

Professional Journey

Throughout my career, I've specialized in transforming legacy monolithic systems into modern, efficient microservice architectures. Most recently, I worked as a Staff Software Engineer at LeagueApps, where I spearheaded the transformation of a 13-year-old Java monolith into modern Golang microservices.

I've had the privilege of working with innovative companies like Dapper Labs (where I reduced cloud costs by half a million dollars), InVision (increasing ARR by 10%), Roblox, and OpenTable, among others. My experience spans from startups to high-growth companies, always focusing on delivering tangible value and scalable solutions.

Technical Expertise

I specialize in backend development with Go and TypeScript/Node.js, building microservices and distributed systems. My work focuses on:

  • Microservices architecture and distributed systems
  • Backend development with Go, Node.js, and TypeScript
  • Cloud cost optimization and performance
  • Billing system integrations (Stripe, Zuora, Plaid)
  • Developer productivity improvements
