About

I'm a backend engineer with a track record of leading high-impact engineering work across AI, media tech, and enterprise SaaS. My focus is on high-throughput distributed architectures — systems that process data in real time, scale automatically under load, and stay resilient in production.

At Pixellot, I design real-time HLS video processing pipelines and Kubernetes autoscaling infrastructure for AI-automated sports production. At ZoomInfo, I reduced cloud costs by ~20% and built async data processing platforms using Celery, Redis, and multiple database systems. Earlier, I founded a digital agency delivering SEO-optimised web applications for clients across Israel.

I hold a BSc in Computer Science from Holon Institute of Technology, and I'm fluent in Hebrew, English, and Russian. I bring engineering depth and business clarity to every team I work with.
