Visionary CTO • AI Maverick • Practical Problem Solver
Early Achievements and Foundation
My journey in technology began young and intense. By the age of 12, I was already mastering server control systems at some of the leading American universities. At 14, I developed a remote access tool that tested the defences of giants like Microsoft and Symantec. These early experiences carved a deep understanding of security, software engineering, and system resilience.
My time serving in the Israeli Defense Forces was pivotal. I specialised in data management and advanced computer vision technologies within military intelligence, sharpening my skills in how data shapes modern security and strategic decision-making. This period seeded my lifelong mission: leveraging AI and data to deliver real-world impact under complex, high-stakes conditions.
Education and Career Milestones
| Year | Role | Company / Institution | Key Achievement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 - 2019 | Head of Software Engineering | Office of the Prime Minister, Israel | Led cyber and data projects with strategic impact |
| 2019 - 2022 | CTO and Co-Founder | SightBit | Built AI systems for drowning prevention and aquatic safety |
| 2022 - 2024 | Director of Software Engineering | Synamedia | Directed global R&D, driving AI-powered SaaS innovation |
| 2024 - Present | CTO | Jam 7 | Leading AI-powered marketing automation and agentic frameworks |
Alongside my roles, I hold an MBA in Strategy, an MSc in Computer Science, and a B.A. in Economics. I am a member of professional bodies such as IEEE and the Israeli Chamber of IT, reflecting my continuous engagement with global technical communities.
Technical Expertise and Leadership
My core strengths lie in architecting scalable AI and data systems that address complex real-world problems:
- Expertise in Generative AI, focusing on advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems.
- Architecting and leading development of agentic AI workflows and autonomous systems that evolve beyond static pipelines.
- Deep experience with vector search, embeddings, and the orchestration of data and AI pipelines.
- Building production-grade AI products with a cloud-first, scalable infrastructure mindset.
- Hands-on leadership delivering cross-functional teams in software engineering, data science, and AI R&D.
For example, at SightBit, I led the development of a computer vision platform that detects drowning risks in real time, saving lives by applying deep learning models and scalable pipelines in mission-critical situations. At Synamedia, I drove innovation in media and broadcast SaaS with generative AI and machine learning, saving substantial operational costs and enhancing scalability.
My Approach and Philosophy
- Build for impact, not recognition: My work focuses on crafting solutions that seamlessly solve problems without adding complexity or noise.
- Prioritise execution speed: Ideas are worthless without quick, ruthless prioritisation and delivery.
- People first: The key bottleneck in tech is human collaboration; investing in leadership and communication is non-negotiable.
- Challenge the status quo: I question traditional measures of success and favour intellectual risk-taking over comfort.
- Systems thinking: Whether in music or code, I view systems holistically—each part matters, but integration drives true innovation.
These principles mean I prefer clear, direct communication and designs that scale with minimal friction. I am not interested in flashy tech for its own sake but in thoughtful architecture and automation that enhance human creativity and operational resilience.
Current Endeavours and Recent Successes
Currently, as CTO of Jam 7 in London, I steer the company’s R&D to revolutionise marketing through AI automation. We are breaking new ground with agentic AI agents that combine human expertise and creative automation at scale.
Earlier, I led global teams at Synamedia across three continents to transform broadcast video services with data SaaS backed by advanced ML pipelines, delivering innovation that saved over half a million dollars annually.
My entrepreneurial journey with SightBit remains a testament to applied AI with mission-critical impact, pioneering drowning prevention technologies that merge vision AI and real-world deployments.
Personal Interests and Life Outside Work
Balance and curiosity keep me grounded. I am passionate about:
- Early morning workouts to sharpen the mind and body.
- Exploring wilderness with minimal gear, capturing the raw world through a camera lens.
- Engaging with real-time strategy games that exercise my tactical thinking.
- Riding Enduro motorbikes, combining adrenaline with precision and technical riding skills.
- Delving into science fiction and space exploration, inspired by visionaries who push human limits.
Above all, family is my centre. My two daughters remind me daily why technology must aim for simplicity, safety, and genuine human value.
Vision for the Future
My goal is clear: to push AI beyond hype into meaningful systems that augment human potential while respecting complexity and uncertainty. I do not believe in replacing humans with automation but in creating intelligent collaborations between people and machines.
I am driven to lead AI innovation that balances pragmatic business needs with technological elegance. Whether through building agentic AI systems, scalable cloud architectures, or real-world safety platforms, my focus remains on delivering tangible impact, transparency, and adaptability.
In this evolving landscape, my commitment is to remain a hands-on technical leader, an advisor for strategic AI initiatives, and a builder of systems that truly work—not just on paper, but in the messy real world.
✨ For those who value pragmatic innovation over buzz, I am always open to connecting on impactful AI, data engineering, and technology leadership opportunities.
