AI Software Engineer at TinyTap (Animoca Brands), building real-time multimodal learning experiences. I focus on developing the frontend logic and interfaces that bring AI tutoring to life using React, Next.js, and OpenAI’s Realtime API. My work involves implementing the tool-calling schemas that allow AI agents to trigger interactive activities like flashcards and word banks based on the conversation. I also work on integrating models like Gemini and GPT-4o to handle visual reasoning-enabling the AI to "see" and evaluate user answers in real-time. I started my career in automation engineering in the IDF’s Matzpen unit, building test infrastructures and CI pipelines. This background taught me the importance of precision and reliable systems, which I now apply to the world of Generative AI and prompt design. I’m passionate about making complex AI technology accessible, intuitive, and engaging for every user. Outside of work, I’m a surfer, photographer, and cook-hobbies that keep me grounded and always looking for a new perspective. 🌊📸🔥
