About Me

My Story

Ever since I was a little kid, software has been my passion. This passion carried me through my education at FHW, where I studied new languages, algorithms, higher mathematics, and everything relating to Software Development. I later joined Tel Aviv University, learning how to get Software ideas into reality and how to work the market in the real world.

With over six years of experience in software development and product management, I am passionate about creating impactful and user-friendly solutions that address the complex challenges of the transportation industry.

Professional Focus

As a Product Manager at Autofleet, I lead the strategic development and innovation of features that enable fleet operators to optimize their operations and improve efficiency. Previously at Optibus, I focused on helping bus operators and agencies optimize their schedules and improve service quality.

My background in computer science, economics, and business administration, as well as my exposure to different markets and cultures, equips me with the skills and knowledge to understand the needs and pain points of various stakeholders and deliver solutions that meet and exceed their expectations.

I enjoy working collaboratively with cross-functional teams, fostering a culture of openness, feedback, and agility. I am also the founder and CEO of I Host You, a self-started company that creates websites for small and medium-sized businesses.
