Engineering Leader & Founder.
Architecting scalable, AI-driven futures.
PROFILE
I operate at the intersection of technical engineering and strategic leadership. Currently pursuing Informatics at the University of Washington (Class of 2028). I don't just build software; I build organizations, having scaled a 70-member tech chapter. In my spare time, I work on startup ideas and explore new ventures. My mission is to blend deep technical prowess with executive vision.

PROJECTS
tamiduw.org
Built with React and Next.js to manage chapter operations, showcase consulting projects, schedule events, and connect members with Israeli startups and investment opportunities.
medinadays.org
Real-time polling infrastructure handling high-concurrency traffic for a community festival. Built with Firebase Firestore for seamless data synchronization, featuring responsive design and interactive features for enhanced attendee engagement. Implemented scalable architecture to support thousands of concurrent users during peak event times, with optimized database queries and efficient state management.
Handheld Console
Designed and built a custom handheld console from scratch, integrating CAD for physical design, 3D printing for enclosure, and custom circuitry for functionality. Programmed control logic and wired electronic inputs.
FRC Robotics - AI-Driven Mount Design & Battery Case
Utilized generative AI and topology optimization to design and stress-test lightweight mount alternatives for the team's robot. Additionally, designed and 3D printed a custom battery case for the FRC 12V battery, featuring a modular 5-component design with integrated handle and Anderson connector carriage. This improved structural efficiency, reduced material usage, and validated design integrity under load using CAD-integrated simulation tools.
