I'm a seasoned entrepreneur with 30 years of software development and management experience in tech-intensive companies.
I have two kids, and I'm living in Cyprus, a few steps from the beach.
You can find a bit more about me below.
I'm a seasoned entrepreneur with 32 years of software development experience and over 22 years of experience in executive and operational management roles in highly technical software companies.
I'm starting a new DAO focused on the Independent Game Development Industry. Before that I was the COO of Tectona, a publicly traded company in the TEL Aviv Stock Exchange.
I served as an Executive Vice President of Research and Development in Orbs ltd. and later as CEO of private company, creating custody solutions for Swiss based banks.
I founded PAKET, a truly decentralized parcel delivery solution based on crypto economy. You can learn more about it in this Forbes interview.
Earlier in my career, I managed Financial Algorithms (Final), a multi-billion Algo Trading Quant fund during its most significant growth years, and several other technology-heavy organizations and teams.
I led one of the first successful implementations of Bitcoin based tokenization protocols (ColordCoins 2013), and many other technology-intensive products, in the cryptocurrency, FinTech, AdTech, and Enterprise software.
Co-founded two successful companies: MessageVine that merged with Onset in 2006, and Oblicore that was bought by CA (computer associate) in 2005. I also coauthored an IBM Redbook about distributed computing, co written a patent, and wrote several other papers pseudonymously.
I also co-own a music production company that brings American Blues artists to perform in Israel, arranges music festivals, and involved in the local music scene.
I enjoy creating stuff.
Besides software, I build and maintain
terrariums and
aquariums of freshwater fish and plants. Recently, I've built a
motorized skateboard with my son. I still can't ride it at its top speed. A few years ago, I built a
house on a cliff right on the Pacific Ocean, on the west coast of Nicaragua. I'm also doing some
light carpentry.
Apart from the above, I also enjoy:
Oliver
and
Morty,
Saul Goodman and
Dexter
David Fincher,
Coen bros.I used to practice
Kendo
and
full contact martial arts.
Now I'm mostly watching Mixed Martial Arts events.
Sports are important too. I'm trying not to do any.
