I'm a motivated backend engineer with hands-on experience building AI-based and microservices applications, deploying them on AWS, GCP and Azure.

I have strong skills in data processing, text analysis and machine learning, and a proven ability to work in fast-paced environments and contribute to strategic decision-making. Before software, I built and scaled a profitable e-commerce business and served as a combat commander in the Givati Brigade.
