Real time algorithmic trading boutique hedge fund. As CTO I built the full stack of this algorithmic hedge fund from the ground up. I hired, trained and managed a team from junior developers to highly experienced researchers. I coordinated research and development across the organization and to the executive stakeholders. I solved challenges involving data intensive computation, performance critical systems and financial systems' reliability and integrity. I solved problems in the fields of data science, statistics, signal processing and machine learning.

2007 - 2008
I worked in the Tel Aviv University Computer Vision Lab under Prof. Lior Wolf to form the founding team of a university spin out computer vision start-up. My core focus was leading software development for a near-realtime video processing system, using AI to reshape cinematic scenes in real time to fit dynamic mobile displays. I implemented in C++ highly performant algorithms from Matlab proofs of concept. The solution required application and optimization of canonical vision algorithms in C++ and GPGPU utilizing the then newly released NVIDIA CUDA.

Simigon was a pioneer in flight simulators (building on the classic Jane's IAF: Israeli Air Force video game from 1998). At Simigon I collaborated with the graphics engine team lead in defining a new generation for the company's Ogre3D based graphics engine. I built a scalable and robust architecture anticipating future features and capabilities; and guided engineers in tasks ranging from UML design to C++ implementation and optimization of the various system components.
2004 - 2006
2004 - 2006
With Zoran (previously Emblaze) I led integration and refactoring of a multimedia framework for a real-time embedded ThreadX/ARM mobile platform; and designed and optimized a robust system handling various audio and video codecs. The solution was developed for high quality mass-production, and consequently deployed in over 5 million devices worldwide. Challenges included severe runtime and memory constraints, while supporting a robust and scalable architecture.
