I'm a self-taught polymath with a passion for software development, AI, linguistics, and research across humanities and tech. I studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Michigan, pursuing interdisciplinary work that spans archaeology, linguistics, Bible research, AI, and open-source software. I love turning complex problems into practical tools and sharing knowledge through teaching and writing. In my work I blend full-stack development, generative AI, NLP, and CV with academic inquiry, building projects that matter—from Bible-code research software to AI training pipelines for translation models. I thrive in cross-disciplinary teams and enjoy mentoring others, writing papers, and delivering reliable solutions.
