Hi There 👋🏼

I’m a self-taught software guy with various other interests. I was born in Israel lived in Germany, Holland and NYC, these days I enjoy the serene countryside of the Catskills.

I joined Daostack in 2022, and took the green pill and discovered the magic of cryptography and specially Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), Multiparty Computation (MPC) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), writing mostly in Rust.

My facination in the digital world started, as a Jazz Guitarist, with realizing the power of creating realtime compositional units, I was inspired by electroacoustic music as well as with the literary works of Walter Benjamin about post mechanical creativity. I started studying at the institute of Sonology messing around with SuperCollider, and PD and also trying to understand programming languages like Lisp and SmallTalk. I developed a strong appreciation for expressive and memory-aware languages like Rust, Swift, and C++ because of the same elegance and utility Lisp and SmallTalk tought me. I also appreciated later Solidity for the same reason, but now in the context of memory footprint and models of ownership.

Professional Background

I also worked for a little bit as a mentor and gave talks and classes in interactive digital art and such before I fully became a fulltime engineer.

In the first 10 years of my career, I worked primarily with Objective-C, Swift, and C. Over the last several years, I expanded into React Native and full-stack development and now I am working on architecting distributed systems, validator infrastructure, and cryptographic enforcement models, and crypto wallets.

I am always drawn to highly technical teams building foundational systems — environments where clarity, correctness, and long-term resilience matter more than speed and production readiness.

Philosophy of Work and Organization

I believe healthy organizations resemble well-designed distributed systems. Authority is explicit. Ownership is transparent. Failure domains are contained. No single node silently absorbs all the load.

Over the years, my role has shifted from simply writing code to shaping cognitive load, also as it become unbiquitous, it moreever express human interaction. Clear abstractions and explicit interfaces reduce cognitive noise. Deterministic enforcement reduces politics.

The most sustainable teams I’ve seen are those where boundaries are respected, communication remains calm under pressure, and responsibility is aligned with capability. Resilience — in systems and in people — comes when bottoms up thining fluently informs the top bottom, just like our bodies our immune system works in our bodies.

The Problem Solving I specilize in

I like to solve hard problems end to end, and usually more interested in high level of reliability rather that brute force, that’s hopefully becoming more of an appreciated problem, as AI advances and fills up the mechanical aspects of Software Design. I really respect and appreciate how gradually, my wort informs a lot of my understanding of the world. It showed me how phenomena around us can be grouped and understood through abstraction — not only through immediate utility.

My interest in general-purpose computing and Math deepened because I could transfer what I learned, like an experienced musician and can pick up a new instument quickly. I became more of an engineer than I ever though I could because the problems computer solves turned out to be very high in generality, an attitude more than it is a methodology.

Decision-making processes often ends up as cost-benefit analysis, but if you look at each decision and sometimes systems — human understanding, technical or not — move according to incentives and constraints. That is perhaps the next big frontier of AI and human-machine collaboration.

Interests and Hobbies

Playing the guitar brings me joy; I also practice yoga and remain curious about disciplines that cultivate attention and awareness.

Over time, I have come to value steadiness over intensity, clarity over reaction, and long-term integrity over short-term validation. Those principles inform both my personal life and my professional work.
