About

Born in Jerusalem. Joined a startup at 13 and founded my first company at 16 while studying in a yeshiva. Straight out of high school, I went to Y Combinator as co-founder and CTO of the company that later became Cue. I left for the army before the team's final pivot and acquisition by Apple.

I have written production code at every company I started, and still do. The work has ranged from consumer apps and mobile SDKs to low-latency systems that let people control vehicles from thousands of miles away, and AI agents for high-stakes legal and financial work. Over time, the work converged on one question: what should machines do alone, where should people step in, and what infrastructure makes the whole system reliable. That is the control room question behind most of what I write here.

I co-founded Nextpeer, acquired by Viber in 2015. Then I co-founded Phantom Auto, where we built systems that let people operate vehicles and robots remotely. We raised about $95 million, grew to 120 people, were granted more than 20 US patents, and built a platform named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2022. We could not secure the next round and shut the company down in 2024.

Forbes 30 Under 30 in the US and Israel, back when I still qualified.

After Phantom, I co-founded mixus, which builds AI agents for high-stakes legal work used by Am Law 10 firms. I also own Magn, AI datacenter infrastructure in Israel.

On the writing here: I develop the thesis and supply the firsthand material. AI helps with research, drafting, and editing. I check the claims and the sources.
