Nine Facts About Me:

- I am happily married to Gili, and we have three sons – Bar, Raz, and Gal.

- I have visited 26 different countries and hope to visit 10 more in the next decade.

- At certain points in my life, I was fluent in four languages. 

- I love sports–especially running and hiking, reading books (both nonfiction and fiction), and building LEGO with my kids.

- I grew up near Tel Aviv but fell in love with Haifa, where I currently live.

- As a faculty member at Technion, I conduct research with graduate students and colleagues, apply for grants, review academic work, teach, and mentor the next generation of researchers and engineers. 

- I am actively involved in industry across several fields. In the past, I worked at Intel, Yahoo!, and Google, and I have served as an expert consultant for Matrix, AppsFlyer, and Lightblocks. 

- I relate to Abraham Lincoln's quote: 'Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.' I believe in thoughtful preparation—breaking down big ideas into clear, actionable steps. 

- I am always looking for interesting opportunities with extraordinary people.
