The Lubavicher Rebbe
Areas of Focus
I like to write code, learn and build permaculture projects in the Land of Israel
Software
I've been writing code for over a decade in fields including fintech, agtech and cybersecurity, working with established companies and startups. Buzzwords: Vue, Node, React, Python, C#, ELK-stack, Redis, Kafka, Mongo, MySQL, Arduino
Permaculture and Aquaponics
I focus on sustainability and productivity, planting food forests and building aquaponics systems, where fish sustain high intensity vegetable production. I also keep honeybees.
Digital Design and Fabrication
I design and build 2 and 3D things with Solidworks, Inkscape, CNCs, laser cutters and 3D printers.
Digital projects
A few things I've built
Ofanym
​The world's first OSINT marketplace. A DApp on the Ethereum blockchain, Ofanym allows users to buy and sell Open Source Intelligence anonymously and securely.
Silverbolt.AI
Worked as a senior engineer. Built the web component of a cybersecurity startup's project from the ground up. The company was founded by veterans of the Israeli intelligence community. Developed using Vue, Node, Kafka, Elasticsearch and Redis, with a microservices architecture to allow massive throughput and scaling. Leveraged advanced and experimental Node features such as HTTP2.
Worked on identifying and mapping the modern descendants of the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel. Conducted digital and academic research, interviewed dozens of subjects, designed, built and deployed a full stack community social network application allowing each community to present itself to the outside world and store important documents, genealogies and audiovisual media online.
A project for the Redis 2021 Hackathon. I used this as a vehicle to learn the Redis AI stack in order to analyze drone video footage to help the local search and rescue unit locate missing persons in real time or historic footage using different Tensor Flow models as needed. Used Vue, Python, Docker, RedisAI, RedisGears, RedisPubsub and Redis TimeSeries. Won one of the Hackathon's prizes.
Trellis.AI
Agtech startup. First engineer hire. Built data harvesting pipelines for weather, satellite imagery, soil type mapping and field sensor data. Built AI pipelines analyzing data with Python Pandas and Scikit-Learn. Built a full stack web app to allow customers to manage their plots and crops and receive crop monitoring and prognosis. DevOps on AWS and Azure.
