Education
The Open University of Israel
I am a software engineer and the creator of BridgeDummy. I was a youth world champion in bridge, and I now play on Israel's open national team. I like to build things that work, from the first idea to the running product.
01
Engineering
I work as a software engineer at Bimrock. We build software for the construction industry.
I like the full path of a product: understand the problem, write the least code that solves it, then test that it really works before I call it done. I care more about a system people can trust than a clever one.
I build production algorithms in Python and C++. BridgeDummy is where this meets a game I know from the inside. One request can mean thousands of simulated deals, each solved for the best play, then scored. I built all of it: product, frontend, backend, and content.

Bridge
I have played competitive bridge since childhood. With Israel's youth teams I won the under‑16 world championship and took world runner-up titles at under‑21 and under‑26. I am an Israeli under‑26 champion, a member of Israel's open national team, and a bronze medalist with the open team at the 2026 European National Teams Championships in Riga.
Bridge is a game of hidden information. You and your partner see only half the cards. You work out the rest. Every bid and every card is both a choice and a message. That way of thinking shapes how I build software too.

Beyond
Away from the screen, I forage for wild mushrooms, herbs, berries, and greens. It is a good way to slow down and pay attention.
