14+ years building silicon-to-cloud distributed systems. Combining deep protocol-level hardware expertise with hands-on ownership in software product delivery.
I code and perform Beethoven. Eight years of classical piano taught me that precision and soul aren't opposites; they're partners. That's why I create technology that serves human creativity, not the other way around.

Why I Build Things

I always admired my father's work supporting Holocaust survivors and building Jewish communities, and this taught me that good infrastructure holds space for life to flourish. Watching him transform isolation into connection showed me what technology should do: make us more human, not less.

Every system I create carries this lesson: sustainable communities are built on trust, not extraction. I build where culture and code meet because the best infrastructure disappears so humanity can shine through.
