- ⚡ My experience: 16yrs of building production SW, both large-scale (as SDE @ AWS) and SaaS (as founder @ Payroll-AI)
- ⚒️ I'm currently working on: A fork of Karpathy's autoresearch that auto-optimizes trading strategies
- 📖 I'm currently learning: Building agentic apps using Pydantic AI, LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, Vercel AI SDK, etc.
🤝 Why work with me?
- 🙋 I take full end-to-end ownership on my tasks & responsibilities, beyond expectations
-
- 💬 I communicate, directly and by async documentation. Everything must always be clear
- ❓ I always start with why, both when assigned and assigning a task, all must be justified
- 👨🎓 I'm a quick & independent learner. I dive deep and reach quick results in unfamiliar topics
- 👥 I'm a team player. I take collaboration, empathy & vibe as key for long-term success
- 🤩 I'm passionate about SW, AI, problem solving, learning, customer satisfaction, challenges
- 📈 I love systems and I constantly make efforts to improve the systems I work with
🔭 What am I looking for?
- A fulltime fully-remote role (currently living in Thailand 😎) as an AI fullstack SW developer, integrating AI into the product and SDLC
- Joining a strong team / organization that tackles real-world customer problems at scale with AI
- Working with the best teammates who love learning, adapting, sharing, improving and winning together
🕐 What's my career timeline?
- 2009 - 2014: Technion - studying for B.Sc in Computer Science
- 2010 - 2019: Rafael - building realtime SW for advanced defence systems (mission-critical, disposable HW, no 2nd chance...)
- 2019 - 2023: AWS - building realtime SW for EC2 Networking devices (world-scale traffic, hard constraints, complex SLDC)
- 2023 - 2024: 1-year break - relocating to Thailand with my wife & 3 daughters
- 2024 - 2026: SaaS - building 2 indie ventures (private repos which I already left), dozens of satisfied paying customers
- 2024 - 2025: Education business - teaching & mentoring non-tech indies about the world of SaaS, > 600 students
🏆 Achievements
- I'm an ex. AWS SDE, built and deployed prod. SW at the heart of EC2 Networking, world-scale traffic
- My 2nd SaaS involved OCR, which I had no knowledge with, yet we significantly outperformed competitors
- Some students of my education business made their own SaaS ventures and reached paying customers
💡 What have I learned?
- Agile & growth mindset are a must and always will be, and so are continuous learning and enthusiasm, AI won't have these soon
- Usually, the 'how' can be solved, the 'what' is just a variation of something known, but the 'why' is what's important, start with 'why'
- SW, like many other things, is a means to a business or personal goal, the goal matters more than whatever SW you build for it
- It's important? Prioritize. It's complex? Document. It's repeating? Automate. It's relevant for others? share. Can AI do it? Let it
- AI can do your work if you teach it, but it's your work and so is the responsibility to lead, direct and validate the AI doing it
