About Me

From Quality Engineering to AI-Driven Innovation

I'm a Computer Science graduate with a strong foundation in software development, Python expertise, and hands-on experience shipping production tools in mission-critical defense environments at Elbit Systems.

My career started in software quality, where I developed deep expertise in the full SDLC, cross-team collaboration, and process automation. Now, I'm channeling that engineering discipline into my true passion: AI Engineering.

I'm currently deepening my expertise in Generative AI: including LLMs, AI agents, multi-agent systems, RAG architectures, and agent orchestration. Through intensive self-learning and the Nebius Academy AI Engineer Program, taught by engineers from AI21 Labs, NVIDIA, and the Israel AI Agency.
