I Build Things
Building meaningful experiences for over two decades.
I wrote my first lines of code at 13. No classroom, no curriculum — just curiosity and a screen. Twenty-four years later, that same drive is what gets me up in the morning.
I spent years deep in frontend — obsessing over UX, performance, and making interfaces feel right. I built backends across multiple languages and paradigms. I've worked on large-scale big data systems. I pick up new technologies early — I was building with React Native weeks after its first release. I never stop learning, and I go wherever the problem takes me.
I've created products from scratch — from idea to production. Co-founded startups, was the first engineer at others, and built things that served hundreds of thousands of users. Today, I lead engineers at a cybersecurity company in Tel Aviv.
Started coding at 13. Built websites, learned by doing, fell in love with making things work.
Built and ran Anime-IL — the largest anime community in Israel. Along with Naruto-Fan, Bleach IL, and AnimeBit. Thousands of users, real traffic, real problems to solve. Learned everything from design to servers.
Turned years of self-taught building into a career. Started working as a software developer — finally getting paid to do what I'd been doing since I was a kid.
Joined startups as the first engineer, co-founded others. Built products from zero to launch with whatever fit best — from Node to Elixir. No playbook, no safety net, just shipping.
Engineering Manager at a cybersecurity company in Tel Aviv. Leading teams, shaping products, still building.
Every technical decision starts with the user experience. Beautiful interfaces aren't decoration — they're how good software communicates.
From database to pixel. Understanding the full picture means making better decisions at every layer of the stack.
The best architecture comes from deeply understanding the problem. I translate business needs into the right technical solution — not the other way around.
Fast apps aren't a luxury — they're the baseline. Performance is a feature, and users feel every millisecond.
AI changes everything. I embrace it as a force multiplier — for thinking, building, and shipping faster than ever before. The builders who wield it well will define the next era of software.
Have an idea, a question, or just want to say hello? I'd love to hear from you.
