That spark of curiosity has since become an inferno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My academic journey led me to a B.Sc. in Physics and Computer Science from Ben-Gurion University, a combination that perfectly captured my desire to understand the world&#8217;s fundamental rules while also learning how to build the tools to manipulate them. For a time, I applied this knowledge as a process engineer at Intel, working on the very CPUs that power our digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But my true passion lies in getting my hands dirty\u2014in the space where code, circuits, and creativity collide. This site is where I document that journey. It\u2019s a testament to the idea that with the right tools and enough curiosity, you can reshape the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a glimpse into my workshop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Maker Forge:<\/strong> This is where the digital meets the physical. Armed with a 3D printer, a soldering iron, and a fleet of microcontrollers (Arduinos, ESP32s, Raspberry Pis), I&#8217;m constantly hacking life. I believe everyday objects are just a starting point, and I love redesigning them to perfectly fit my needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Digital Backbone:<\/strong> Hardware is only half the story. To bring my creations to life, I&#8217;ve built my own digital infrastructure. I&#8217;m fascinated by the world of IT and cybersecurity\u2014running my own homelab, mastering Linux, spinning up services with Docker, and learning how to secure it all. It\u2019s about building a robust and private ecosystem for my experiments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Frontier of AI:<\/strong> I\u2019ve always been captivated by the elegant power of neural networks. I&#8217;m not just content using AI as a black box; I\u2019m diving deep into the math and code behind machine learning algorithms, exploring how we can teach machines to learn, create, and solve problems in ways we&#8217;re only beginning to understand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, step into my lab. Explore the projects, dig into the code, and join me as I feed an insatiable curiosity, one creation at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my digital laboratory!
