Shay Nehmad's Now page

Last updated on May 22nd, 2024.

War

After last year ended with 3 months of reserve duty following October 7th, I’m “back to normal” - whatever that means while people are still kidnapped and friends are shipping off to the front lines.

Professional

My main professional focus is on Orca Security, where I’m now leading a small Engineering Enablement and Experience team. Combo of hands-on (fun!), architecture, L&D, team leadership, and more.

I’m also still co-hosting weekly episodes of the Cup o’ Go 🎧 podcast together with Jonathan Hall. This helps to keep me in the loop of what’s happening with Go, as I don’t do production development in it anymore. It’s also very rewarding and fun and I hope to keep it going. We have a few Patreon supporters which other than the direct support has really shifted my perspective on my value proposition for the world at large.

Shay Nehmad Software, my attempt at starting a consultation business, has been put on the back burner for now. That’s a shame but all my clients have been super gracious about it.

Personal

Personally, my main focus is family health and stability. We’ve gone through a few rough months. We have a beautiful 3 year old daughter, and she’s becoming smarter every day.

I’m (still) working on translating my grandfather’s book from Hebrew to English. I’m about 41% through the first pass.

What’s this page about?

As I attempt to withdraw more and more away from social media, I find more and more cool personal sites. I found a now page in a few of them and thought that it’s a good idea. See what is a “now page”?.
