I am a software engineer with 30 years of experience in various technology fields: software development, engineering management, software architecture, HPC and algorithmic research. In my day job I am an Engineering Fellow in Next Insurance. Before that has been focusing for 8 years on Java platform performance optimization as an independent consultant and was involved in more than a dozen optimization projects.

My passion for performance optimization hasn't faded, and I still love to tackle challenging problems of this kind. In addition to my work, I am a Java Champion and one of the organizers of Java.IL, the Israeli Java user group.
