01About

Bridging traditional engineering and AI innovation.

Google AI Professional and Ben-Gurion University Certified AI Engineer. At Earnix, I lead the Applicative GenAI Frontend Team and the AI Factory Guild, establishing a governance framework with Product, Security, and Finance to oversee internal AI tools and push GenAI into our development environments.

Professional Journey

Started at Earnix as a Frontend Engineer; after a year of driving AI adoption and impact, I transitioned into management. Prior to Earnix, I built infrastructure at Wix.com, developing applications and large packages from scratch that established robust foundations for scalable web development.

AI Engineering Leadership

Managing the AI engineering team and AI Guild at Earnix. Driving GenAI adoption, sharing best practices across the org, and turning employees' creative solutions into practical tools across the engineering group.

Frontend Infrastructure

5+ years building scalable applications and infrastructure at Wix and Earnix. Deep React/Next.js, TypeScript, and design-system thinking, with a bias for tooling that compounds team velocity.

Athletic Excellence

Former professional volleyball athlete. The discipline, repetition, and team-first mindset translate directly to how I lead engineering teams and ship reliable software.
