Gal Shelach

I am a team leader of a production team in the Infrastructure group. As such, I take part and lead tasks that improve Taboola’s performance and stability. I work on the core pillars of our infrastructure to support our ever-growing scale. The fun part of my job is to look at the big picture of our system and track down suspicious bottlenecks. I am doing so by using both in-house and open source monitoring and profiling tools. The culprits can be Taboola’s services or even commercial and open source 3rd party services. After catching them I do whatever is necessary to make the services great again. When I am not in the office you can find me surfing, sailing or camping on Israel’s wildlands ☺
