Visionary CTO • AI Maverick • Practical Problem Solver
Early on, I was drawn to technology not just as a tool but as a frontier to conquer. By age 12, I was already navigating large-scale university servers in the US, pushing boundaries most would shy away from. At 14, I authored a remote access tool that challenged the defences of major players like Microsoft and Symantec. These early accomplishments weren’t about notoriety—they were about mastering systems, understanding weaknesses, and building the foundation for a career firmly rooted in technical depth and pragmatic innovation.
Formative Experiences and Key Training
My formative years were steeped in hands-on exploration of software development, IT infrastructure, and early machine learning concepts. Serving in the Israeli Defense Forces further sharpened my expertise, where I specialised in data management and advanced computer vision technologies—fields that remain central to my work today.
I don’t believe academic credentials alone build an expert. For me, the blend of self-driven mastery, military-grade technical discipline, and real-world problem solving set the tone for a career that demands both practical impact and technical rigour.
Education and Professional Journey
| Year | Role | Company / Institution | Key Achievements |
|---|---|---|---|
| By 22 | Student | Universities | B.A. in Economics, MBA in Strategy, M.Sc. in Computer Science |
| 2016–2019 | Head of Software Engineering | Israeli Prime Minister’s Office | Developed data and cybersecurity solutions |
| 2019–2022 | CTO and Co-Founder | SightBit | Built AI for real-time drowning detection, saving lives with computer vision |
| 2022–2024 | Director of Software Engineering | Synamedia | Led global R&D introducing AI-powered analytics and data SaaS platforms |
| 2024–Present | CTO | Jam 7 | Architecting generative AI marketing agents that automate creativity at scale |
Alongside formal education, my career spans roles demanding scalable AI systems engineering, leadership over cross-functional teams, and the delivery of production-grade AI automation. I've worked with companies ranging from national government offices to startup innovation labs, each role advancing my expertise in generative AI, large language models, and agentic workflows.
Current Role and Recent Achievements
Today, as CTO at Jam 7 in London, I lead the charge to transform marketing through applied AI and automation. My focus lies at the intersection of human creativity and machine efficiency — by architecting agentic workflows powered by cutting-edge LLMs and LangGraph technology, we have built AI systems that outperform leading platforms in creativity benchmarks.
Before this, I directed R&D at Synamedia, overseeing global teams focused on AI-driven data solutions and advanced analytics. I helped shift their data infrastructure from traditional warehouses to scalable AWS Data Lakes, achieving 99% resilience and saving over $550,000 annually through AI-powered efficiency.
At SightBit, I co-founded and scaled a life-critical computer vision platform. Our AI monitored and predicted drowning events in real time, deployed globally without reliance on costly specialised sensors. This project refined my belief in AI’s potential to save lives, not just optimise trivial workflows.
Core Philosophy and Personal Values
- Build to solve real problems: Technology that adds complexity or artificial issues fails its purpose.
- Design for simplicity: The best solutions work so well they require no explanation.
- Invest in people: Teams are the greatest asset and often the biggest bottleneck; smart leadership unlocks true potential.
- Lead decisively: Formal systems are fragile without effective leadership and clear accountability.
- Question success rigorously: Success can mask flaws; challenge your wins harder than your losses.
- Embrace intellectual risk: Deep expertise demands taking calculated risks; understanding often follows experience.
I operate with brutal prioritisation and execution speed, avoiding corporate formalities or needless embellishment. Honesty and clarity guide all my communication, expecting the same in return. This approach fosters innovation without noise.
Technical Approach and Leadership Style
- Hands-on engineering paired with strategic vision: I dive deep into code and architecture while shaping AI-driven product strategies.
- Systems thinking: Whether it is generative AI architectures, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, or vector search databases, I design for holistic robustness and real-world deployment.
- Agentic AI and automation: I’m passionate about building autonomous AI agents that learn, adapt, and drive workflows without constant human maintenance.
- Cloud-first scalable infrastructure: Leveraging AWS and other cloud platforms to deliver resilient, efficient production services.
- Mentorship and team growth: I prioritise developing technical talent and leadership skills, ensuring teams deliver impact while evolving their capabilities.
I believe leadership is as much about forging strong interpersonal bonds as it is about managing projects. Clear communication and high standards create an environment where complex AI solutions can thrive.
Personal Interests and Life Beyond Work
Outside the office, I am a family man and early riser, dedicated to morning workouts and continuous growth. My curiosity extends beyond tech into science, science fiction, and strategic games (RTS). Riding Enduro motorcycles is a personal outlet—combining focus, speed, and calculated risk.
Music is another lens through which I view systems: its layers, harmonies, and roles mirror architectural design and team dynamics. I’m also a precise espresso enthusiast, seeking scientific perfection in every cup.
My daughters remind me daily why I relentlessly pursue innovation: to create a simpler, safer future forged through intelligence, not complexity.
Visionary Closing Statement
I stand at a unique intersection where technical mastery meets strategic insight. I don’t build technology to impress; I build to transform. My work constantly asks: how far can human intelligence and artificial intelligence fuse? What systems can we create that amplify human potential rather than replace it?
In an era overwhelmed by digital noise and empty hype, I cut through with pragmatic AI solutions grounded in measurable impact. If you want a technology leader who delivers not just ideas but functioning, scalable, agentic AI systems, you’ve found one whose eyes are set firmly on the future — with one foot firmly on the ground.
