VP R&D @ Riverside

About

Lived and breathed programming since the age of 13, a decent cook with chef overtones, a former boy scout (it never stops), a campfire guitarist and certified mediocre pianist, a proud father to Evyatar, Hadas and Noodle the happy dog, and even prouder partner to Adi. I love the process of taking an idea and making it tactile, exciting, and scalable. In a perfect world, I would take everything apart to understand how it works; even if I can’t put it back together again (although I could learn how to).
