A minimal black ink drawing on a torn piece of paper. The drawing deceipts a person sitting in a chair in front of a table. The person head is leaning on their hands which are on the table, in an apparent frustration.

Shay Elkin

My name is Shay (pronounced like the English word shy) Elkin.

I am a software engineer at Confluent, where I work on the cloud-native version of Apache Kafka.

I live with my partner in a 130 years old house in Berkeley, California.

You are invited to get into my DMs.
