I’m Eliran. I’m a backend engineer at Microsoft, working on application security.

What I Write About

This blog is where I write down what I’m learning, what I’m seeing go wrong, and what seems worth stealing. Most of the posts fall into:

  • Security for Builders — my series making application security practical for software engineers.
  • Backend engineering — distributed systems, database pitfalls, idempotency, logging, testing practices.
  • Career & growth — honest lessons from my journey as a software engineer.

Beyond Work

Things I love:

  • my wife
  • coffee
  • playing table tennis
  • cooking
  • my dog (look at this cutie…)
    my dog

Stay in Touch

I write about how production systems fail, how they get abused, and how to make them harder to break.
