R&D Technical Lead turning complexity into elegant, scalable systems
Leading engineering at Bites, building modern learning platforms that empower teams globally. Passionate about clean architecture, mentorship, and creating lasting impact.
Engineering with Purpose
From the IDF's Psychotechnical Section to leading modern SaaS architectures, I transform complexity into clarity through empathy and technical precision.
Technical Excellence
Building systems that scale gracefully and stand the test of time
Empathy-Driven
Great engineering starts with understanding users, teams, and context
Innovation
Turning complex problems into elegant, maintainable solutions
Team Growth

My Philosophy
Engineering is about more than code—it's about clarity, scalability, and long-term impact. I combine technical precision with product intuition, focusing on solutions that serve their purpose reliably and evolve gracefully. The best systems make life easier for everyone who interacts with them.

Life Outside Engineering
Family First
I live in Israel with my wife and family. Family time keeps me grounded and reminds me what really matters beyond the code we write and systems we build.
Maker & Tinkerer
I love hands-on projects—from electronics to home automation. Building physical things teaches lessons you can't learn from a screen. Creativity extends far beyond code.
Fluent in English and Hebrew
Let's Connect
I'm always open to meaningful conversations about technology, leadership, or collaboration.
