Companies can't afford to be AI spectators.
They need people who can tinkerbuildtestship.
Every week, AI changes what's possible.
I don't watch that happen. I build with it.
The most valuable skill in AI
isn't coding. It's knowing how to keep learning.

For founders, CEOs, and teams who need working AI, not demos.

CS degree. Booth MBA. Former McDonald's Data Strategy & Privacy lead. Now building AI products and production agents from Israel — and sharing what actually works.

At 18, the Israeli Air Force handed a group of us a book on C++ and left us alone for a few days. No instruction. No internet on the army computers. Just: figure it out, show us what you built.

"That's where I learned how to learn."

Not the content — the method. How to sit with something you don't understand and work at it until you do. How to tinker. How to be comfortable not knowing, as long as you're moving. That instinct has followed me through everything since.

From there: a CS degree, equity research at Barclays, consulting at PwC, a Booth MBA, brand management at Kraft with a $116M portfolio, and four years at McDonald's as Senior Manager for Data Strategy and Privacy — leading the customer data platform that powered personalization at scale across one of the world's largest consumer companies.

Then in 2024, I walked away. Moved to Israel. Started building with AI. After 10+ years in corporate, I missed building, but the syntax had moved on. My original coding skills were obsolete; my understanding of systems, architecture, debugging, and how to learn fast was not. AI closed that gap. It let me turn the builder part of myself back on.

Since then: Regulation Monitor is live with real subscribers. An AI agent I built is running in production at a startup. And I'm still building the next thing. That's not a phase — that's the whole approach.
