I'm an Orthodox Jew, and a parent. Child refugee from the USSR (1990) and Israeli expat (2006). US resident.

A nominally senior software engineer, working on Java backend systems at a multinational company in the entertainment and hospitality sector.

In the age of "ChatGPT, write me a blog post," I publish high-effort blog posts sharing my learning process. Currently I'm learning how to build a self-hosted blog & private cloud, but I'm also interested in making, music, art, & more.
