Experience

Entrepreneur Firstlink
Founder in Residence

As a Founder in Residence at Entrepreneurs First (EF), a premier global talent investor and startup accelerator known for backing exceptional individuals to build transformative companies from scratch, I am fully immersed in designing and developing cutting-edge Agentic AI systems.

Actively building autonomous, goal-driven AI agents that shift from suggestion-based tools to proactive execution, enabling seamless human-AI collaboration and redefining task automation, decision-making, and operations.

Driving a bold vision for the future of computing: making traditional web browsing obsolete, turning personal data into the primary interface (your "homepage"), and empowering agentic systems to independently handle complex responsibilities.

Hustling full-time in a high-intensity, ambition-fueled environment surrounded by world-class cofounders, mentors, and resources - leveraging EF's structured support (including coaching, community, and potential funding pathways) to explore, validate, and iterate ideas at pace.

Positioning myself at the forefront of a paradigm shift in AI, tackling hard technical and conceptual challenges to create meaningful, scalable impact in the emerging agentic era.

This role highlights my entrepreneurial drive, deep technical expertise in AI systems, and commitment to pioneering the next wave of intelligent, autonomous technology.

Designed and developed a comprehensive system for managing Access Control List (ACL) permissions across multiple Linux file system servers, including NFS and BeeGFS, demonstrating expertise in large-scale distributed systems and secure file management.

Built a robust backend capable of processing millions of permission change requests, showcasing proficiency in high-performance computing and scalability.

Implemented two Linux systemd daemons communicating via Unix sockets: one for gRPC-based backend interactions and another for executing ACL changes, highlighting skills in daemon development, inter-process communication, and system-level programming.

Created a user-friendly Next.js frontend enabling secure login, backend communication, and scheduling of permission requests, illustrating full-stack development capabilities and focus on intuitive user experiences.

Professional Freelancer (Technical GTM)link
Technical Writer, Tel Aviv, Israel

Authored comprehensive, highly technical documentation (50+ pages) for a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool, including detailed guides on advanced features such as reachability analysis - focusing on identifying truly exploitable vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies to reduce noise and prioritize remediation in secure software development lifecycles.

Ghostwrote in-depth content on Reachability Analysis for the CTO of a security company, explaining how it enhances SCA by determining whether detected vulnerabilities are actually reachable and exploitable in the application's codebase - delivering clear, authoritative thought leadership material suitable for blogs, whitepapers, or technical marketing.

Deployed and configured Flipt (an open-source, Git-native feature flagging platform) on cloud infrastructure to support video production workflows for a feature flagging provider; troubleshot and resolved operational issues to ensure reliable, production-ready performance in a dynamic environment.

Developed custom scraping tools for a proxy provider targeting real estate platforms, enabling efficient data extraction while adhering to technical and ethical constraints; rapidly produced high-quality articles and technical write-ups on the tools, scraping methodologies, and platform integrations to support knowledge sharing and client deliverables.

Engineering Intern
Athena Consulting Ltd. Dubai

Led the complete system design and deployment architecture for Eumlet, a UAE-based B2B Web3 payments and financial platform (built on Next.js), on AWS infrastructure. Configured Debian EC2 instances, Application Load Balancer (ALB), and NGINX reverse proxy under senior guidance - ensuring high availability, scalability, and secure handling of financial transactions in a regulated environment.

Engineered automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for seamless build, test, and deployment workflows, with direct integration and manual orchestration to EC2 targets - demonstrating strong expertise in modern DevOps practices, infrastructure as code principles, and zero-downtime deployments for production fintech applications.

Managed a team of 4 developers while simultaneously supporting two high-value clients: Lunarspace and Concordium (a privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain platform) - balancing tight deadlines, client expectations, and resource constraints in a fast-paced environment. Authored comprehensive legal and technical developer handbooks to standardize onboarding, compliance, and best practices for new recruits.

Collaborated remotely with BGTrade (China-based financial platform team) on global security audits and production deployments of sensitive financial systems - coordinating across time zones and cultures to identify vulnerabilities, implement hardening measures, and ensure secure, compliant rollouts in cross-border fintech ecosystems.

Cross-Compatible Encryption Adapter for Securing Legacy Modbus Devices

Abstract

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems are the backbone of managing critical infrastructure in modern industrial control systems, spanning sectors from power generation to logistics. However, these systems face significant challenges due to threats from malicious actors. The Modbus protocol, despite its known lack of security features, is still used in many industries managing critical infrastructure due to the high cost of replacing existing systems. As a result, these legacy systems remain vulnerable to potentially damaging threats. This paper proposes an adapter device for enhancing the security of the Modbus protocol without replacing devices in legacy systems. The proposed adapter is cost-efficient, provides cross-platform support, and is easy to install, update, and maintain.

Writings & Blogs

I host my thoughts on Medium rather than building a custom site. Instead of overengineering and reinventing the wheel, I prefer leveraging a mature platform that lets me focus on what matters: sharing insights on AI systems, product strategy, and technical architecture.
