Hey there. I'm an industry veteran (30 years of experience) living in Berlin. I currently work mostly on web related projects (Rails, Elixir, Node, React), but I don't let this field to define me, I constantly looking around and work on other things. Did some hardware (lots of soldering involved) IoT project recently. Doing some weird KDB programming on another one. Dabble in ML and data science. Always happy to try new things.

For a short term (e.g. couple weeks) I can come on-site anywhere in the world, or work remotely from Berlin where I live with my family.

I know English, Hebrew, and Russian (native or close), but only tiny bits of Deutsch.

Oh, BTW, I co-authored "The Rails 4 Way" (https://leanpub.com/tr4w) with Obie Fernandez.
