Eliyas Yakub

I bring over three decades of technology and engineering leadership experience, including nearly 30 years at Microsoft, spanning Windows systems, Surface, cloud hardware infrastructure, and large-scale datacenter systems. My strength is at the intersection of hardware, software, systems engineering, reliability, diagnostics, and operational scale—helping organizations turn complex technology into dependable, deployable products and services. As an advisor or board member, I can provide both strategic perspective and deep technical insight, particularly around product and technology strategy, engineering execution, organizational scaling, hardware–software integration, AI/cloud infrastructure, and operational reliability. I would be especially valuable to startups and growth-stage companies building cloud infrastructure, AI/compute platforms, datacenter technologies, enterprise hardware/software systems, semiconductors, or other technically complex products that need to scale from innovation and early deployment to reliable, production-grade operations.
