About Me

I'm a software engineer who builds tools that make developers' lives easier and systems that just work. My foundation in the field began with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I care deeply about the craft: clean code, solid architecture, and automation. Whether I'm using Rust, Flutter, Java or TypeScript, I focus on picking the right tool for the job to build solutions that are maintainable and reliable.

That mindset extends to my personal projects, too - whether it's an app to remind me to give my cat his medication or a custom AI tool that lets me redesign an entire mobile app from my couch.

  Edit your Flutter apps from the couch using voice commands. Spot a bug on your phone, hold a button, describe the fix, and watch it hot-reload instantly. Brings your own AI agent (Aider, Copilot, Claude).
