Oz Hayun
Software DeveloperFrontend Developer at TinyTap (Animoca Brands), building AI-powered learning tools and real-time tutoring experiences using React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, and OpenAI’s Realtime API. I design and implement interactive activities such as flashcards, open questions, text highlighting, and camera-based image tasks that help bring AI tutoring to life. My background began in automation engineering, developing end-to-end test infrastructures and CI pipelines in the IDF’s Matzpen unit and later at TinyTap, before moving into frontend development focused on AI systems, prompt design, and Gemini-based visual reasoning. This combination of testing discipline and creative frontend work shaped how I approach problems: with precision, curiosity, and empathy for the user. Outside of work, I’m passionate about surfing, photography, and cooking, things that keep me grounded, creative, and always learning. 🌊📸🔥
