Shay Weiss
VP of Engineering
Goldman Sachs
Combining a passion for software craftsmanship with a healthy dose of laziness and natural dislike for stress, Shay naturally gravitated to the famously stress-free fields of DevOps, Site Reliability, and Developer Experience. Shay avidly ensures that he and his colleagues would have a good time in their day-to-day sprint work, while on call, and when releasing to production.
In his decade-long career, he has improved the culture, processes, and infrastructure of CI/CD, on-call, and change management in whatever organization he finds himself, to meet an ever growing scale of production traffic and developer headcount.
Valuing people first, Shay found his calling in management. There, he could best mentor, serve, and advocate for his fellow engineers. As he will explain in his keynote, Shay’s philosophy is that a workplace with an engineering culture, change management processes, and mindset that holistically takes care of people as well as the business, ends up with the best outcomes for everyone.
