Who Am I
The person behind the work
20 Years in the Trenches
Two decades of building software products and consulting companies, from early-stage startups to large enterprises.
B.Sc from the Technion
Computer Science graduate from the Technion, one of the world's top technical universities.
Funded on Shark Tank
My automated trading platform X-Trader got funded on Shark Tank. Pretty wild.
Serial Entrepreneur
Multiple companies built from scratch across software, AI, and consulting. I know the full journey from idea to customers.
AI, All In
I don't just talk about AI. I use it every day across every aspect of my work: building, shipping, and teaching others to get real value from it.
Author, Lecturer & Educator
Years of lectures, courses, and books. I take complex topics and make them click for real people.
What I Do
Here's how I can help
AI Workshops
Hands-on workshops for engineering teams: harness engineering, agent orchestration with Codex, agents in production and more. On-site in Israel, on-site abroad (I fly in for a few days), or remote.
Learn moreCustom AI Agents
I build AI agents that actually do work, not just answer questions. Connected to your tools, running your processes, handling the repetitive stuff so you don't have to. I build them with your team on a monthly retainer.
Learn moreSoftware Development
I build software products. Some are my own, some I build for clients on a monthly retainer. Either way, I treat every project like it's mine. If you have something you want built, let's talk.
Learn moreAI Consulting
One-on-one or per project. I help you figure out what to build, how to build it, and make sure it's done right. Bring me your problem and we'll work through it together.
Learn moreEnterprise AI Strategy
AI strategy and implementation across the organization. Custom agents, skills, MCP servers, and workflows built with your engineering, QA, and automation teams.
Learn moreForward Deployed Engineer
Sometimes I embed with a team for a sprint when a pilot is stuck.

Practical stuff you can actually use
Advanced track
Role-Specific Harness Engineering and Token Optimization
Same model, different harness, very different results. Participants build a harness tuned to their role and measure what it saves on a real task.
Learn MoreAgent Orchestration and Automation with Codex
Several agents in parallel can save real time, or just burn tokens. Participants learn to tell the difference, then take a multi-agent workflow off the laptop and run it automatically.
Learn MoreAgents in Production: Reliability at Scale
An agent that works on your laptop is not an agent that runs hundreds of thousands of times. Participants take one agent from prototype to something they can run at scale, measure and trust.
Learn MoreFoundations
Why AI Projects Fail
An in-depth analysis of common pitfalls in AI implementation and strategies to ensure successful, impactful project delivery.
Learn MoreVibe Coding
Empower your business with custom fitted tools using advanced no-code solutions. Learn to rapidly develop applications while maintaining creative control.
Learn MoreAgents and MCP
Explore the architecture and application of intelligent agents and Multi-Agent Systems to solve dynamic, real-world problems.
Learn MoreSome Of My Projects
Free PDF Machine
A free PDF editor that runs entirely in your browser. Merge, reorder, rotate, sign, and annotate PDFs with no quality loss. Your files never leave your device.
The Eye
A macOS menu bar watch light for your AI coding agents. It turns red the moment an agent stops to ask for input, so you never have to hunt through terminals and windows again.
FPL Matchday Live
Your ultimate Fantasy Premier League companion with real-time data, live scores, and comprehensive team analysis.
X-Trader
Fully automated algorithmic trading platform using a custom neural network ensemble to autonomously trade S&P 500 stocks daily on Google Cloud.
Sticky Tasks
A task management app with sticky reminders that repeat until you finish, location reminders, checklists, and streaks. Now on the App Store and Google Play.
GitHub
Where my open source work lives: Claude Code plugins and configs, the Free PDF Machine source, and the small tools I build for my own workflow.
About Me
I've spent 20 years building software at scale, from developer to architect through several tech companies, before going my own way as a founder. I combine deep technical craft with a genuine love of teaching and try to approach every problem from a different angle.
I started my career at several tech companies, working my way from developer to architect and spending years building software at scale. At some point I realized I wanted to do it on my own terms, so I did.
I bootstrapped X-Trader, my automated algorithmic trading platform, for two years before pitching it on Shark Tank. We closed a 1.5M investment. It was the validation that the work was real, and it set everything in motion.
I'm a full stack developer, fearless about learning new things and tackling hard problems. I approach everything with creativity and try to look at problems from angles others miss. I'm a strong team player and I genuinely enjoy the process of building with people.
Long before I was writing code full time, I was teaching Math, Physics, and SAT prep to put myself through my degree at the Technion. That love of teaching never left. After years as a developer and architect, I started combining both worlds: building courses, lecturing at companies and conferences, and writing books. Today that's a core part of what I do.
These days I run RZ AI Labs, where I build products, consult on AI strategy, develop AI agents, and help teams get real value out of this technology.
