Short version: 1. I'm Married +3 (more coming as soon as I convince my wife) 2. I love sports (Golf & Soccer - weird combination I know) 3. I love video & computer games 4. I will do anything it takes to succeed at my job Long version: I was briefly at 8200 which allowed me to get my first job as an extremely junior full stack developer. After learning and working with Java and web for three years I managed to acquire enough experience to join my cousin Tomer at MSP as VP R&D and co-founder. I learned a lot and it was great fun but after 7 and a half years I decided that I needed a change. I left MSP at march 2015, raised pre-seed money at sep 2015 and co-founded another company with my second cousin Shahar (nepotism much?) called Guggy. I always loved humor and technology and wanted to find a way to combine them both and at Guggy we are doing exactly that. Some of my skills include: - Full stack developing (server, web, mobile) - Product design - Leading and making sure everything runs smoothly - Copy writing - Fund raising - Startup oriented thinking Some of my achievements include (chronological order): - Almost playing in the Israeli fifth division soccer league when I was 22. In the end I decided to take the startup position as a junior developer (phewww). - Getting a job without any real experience - Building and leading R&D team of 9 that developed a platform that is installed in over 50 companies worldwide - Getting married and having children - Winning Ga'ash Golf club's third division championship - Raising money without any funding experience - Creating a product that is currently used by hundreds of thousands of users each day Some of my wishes include: - Earn enough money so I won't need to work and can spent my time helping startups - Play golf every day - Do some impact on the high tech world - Have enough resources and energy to have 6 children
