“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” – Albert Einstein

I’m a friendly geek & entrepreneur from Israel. I’m the founder of Topify (Twitter application). At my spare time I do wacky social media projects (like http://helpiranelection.com/) and blog (here and in my Hebrew blog).

I’ve been hacking with computers since being 9 years old when I got my first XT computer. I self taught myself Basic from the example code that came with MSDOS. Since then I had very versatile career and developed with various tools (including C++, Python and lately Ruby). I developed hardware interfaces, web applications, mobile applications and everything in between.

While being a developer by trade, what I’m really passionate about is the product side of my projects. I always been more excited about the why and what I’m working on rather than the technology behind it.
