Bio

Hi there, I’m Shani Elharrar—a software engineer and engineering group leader based in Israel. I work mostly on backend systems and distributed data processing.

I enjoy growing teams and leaders, and turning real-world engineering challenges into simple, usable products.

I currently lead the engineering group at Upsolver, where we build data lake infrastructure and streaming pipelines. I’ve mostly worked with high-level languages like Scala (❤️), Kotlin, and C#, and I’m especially interested in profiling, observability, and making systems easier to reason about.

I’m available on LinkedIn, by email at shani at handsonculture dot blog.
