There are two things that I have been passionate about from an early age (that is of course before my wife and kids): basketball and engineering. Basketball has featured dominantly in my life both as a fan and a player. From watching NBA games at 4AM religiously to playing on the school teams, varsity team and amateur leagues in Israel. As for engineering, I have always been interested in how things work, enjoying disassembling and then rebuilding things. Fortunately for me, this passion has not disappeared even in adulthood, I still love to get down to the nuts and bolts of everything. That passion led me to study at the Technion, the best engineering institute in Israel. Following 4 hard and challenging years, I decided to work in the fascinating semiconductor industry. I had a great time at Applied Materials for over 7 years, starting as a junior engineer for the customer support team and being promoted to be a validation engineer and later validation team leader. Throughout my work there I never stopped challenging myself, desiring to keep learning and improving. While looking for new challenges and my strong desire to be part of the autonomous driving revolution, in February 2020, I joined to General Motors Israel R&D center as a validation engineer. It was a great experiment at which I have broadened my horizons, mainly at the field of coding. After two intensive years I have decided to go to the discipline of system engineering. It took me a while to find out what exactly I am looking for, finally it occurred to me. On May 2022 I have joined Elbit Systems as a system engineer I believe competitive sport and real life have a lot in common - if you push yourself to the limits results will come. Would be happy to connect with others to exchange ideas and opinions.
