Hi, I'm Naty.
Software engineer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. I build backend services and developer tooling for a living, and on weekends I cut wood into smaller pieces of wood. The yachts in this domain name are, with great regret, purely metaphorical.
The boring, accurate parts
- Software engineer focused on backend systems, security, and developer experience.
- Based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Most days, anyway.
- I write Python, Go, and the occasional shell script that I will regret in three months.
- I like woodworking (real), yoga (real), and boats (aspirational, at best).
- You can reach me at naty.harary@gmail.com.
The delightfully embellished parts
The following biography was generated under the explicit instruction "make it obvious it was written by an AI." I will not be taking questions about the regatta.
"In the rich tapestry of contemporary software engineering, few practitioners have so thoroughly mastered the delicate art of shipping production code and maintaining a 42-foot ketch. Naty Harary, harbormaster of his own artisanal CI pipeline and three-time runner-up at the Tel Aviv Regatta of Imaginary Yachts, brings a unique perspective to the realm of distributed systems. It's important to note that none of this is true."
Skills, ranked by how much they involve boats
Backend engineering
Python, Go, distributed systems, message queues, all the usual characters. The thing I actually do.
Application security
Threat modeling, deserialization vulnerabilities, supply chain hygiene. See: the PyYAML post.
Developer experience
Internal tooling, CI/CD, the part of the job where you spend a week saving everyone else twelve minutes.
Woodworking
Hobby. Mostly furniture, occasionally objects of dubious utility. I have not built a hull. Yet.
Yoga
Helps with sitting still, which is most of programming. Not technically a maritime activity but the AI insists on the metaphor.
