I’m a Technion Mechanical Engineering graduate specializing in robotics, control systems, and applied machine learning. I’m currently pursuing an M.Eng. in Autonomous Systems at UCLA, where I build end-to-end AI systems, from embedded sensor pipelines to large-scale transformer models.

I’m passionate about agentic AI systems, real-time intelligence, and robotics. I enjoy taking complex technical problems and turning them into practical, deployable solutions.

About Me

I’m an engineer who works at the intersection of AI, robotics, and real-time systems.

At Fusmobile, I automated the acoustic calibration workflow using C++ and Python, reducing calibration time from 30 minutes to 5 minutes with fully autonomous signal processing and fault detection. I built a real-time maintenance tracker integrated with Arena and Google Calendar, and supported hardware diagnostics and clinical-device calibration.

At the Technion Flow Control Lab, I worked under Prof. David Greenblatt on a Ministry of Energy project involving wind-powered desalination. I developed PID-based control for a dynamic motor–pump system operating at 10 bar, implemented real-time data acquisition with LabVIEW, and designed Python/MATLAB pipelines for signal analysis and stability evaluation.

Outside research and industry, I enjoy building full end-to-end systems. I’m developing Value Verdict, a sports analytics platform integrating probabilistic modeling, Monte Carlo simulations, and real-time ingestion pipelines. I’m also working on agentic privacy systems, where LLMs generate and verify sensor-sanitization pipelines for multimodal data.

Featured Projects

Project 6

From Words to Shields: Agentic Privacy for Smart Sensors

An LLM-based agent that interprets natural-language privacy rules and autonomously enforces them across text, audio, video, and tabular data. It selects or synthesizes tools, executes them in a sandbox, verifies outputs, and replans when verification fails.

The system introduces dynamic tool generation, unified multi-modal policy handling, and a closed-loop verification + recovery pipeline with full auditability (manifests + logs).

Project 2

From Scratch: Building GPT-2 for Efficient Language Modeling

Implemented GPT-2 (124M parameters) in PyTorch from scratch, replicating its tokenization, positional embeddings, and self-attention mechanisms. Achieved 26% HellaSwag accuracy (vs. OpenAI's 28.92%) with just 2 days of training on a single NVIDIA A600 GPU, compared to OpenAI's month-long cluster (NVIDIA V100s). This work demonstrates how strategic architectural choices can yield near-benchmark performance under resource constraints. Future work includes fine-tuning for code completion and IDE integration, leveraging these efficiency insights.

Value Verdict: Computational Risk Modeling and Inference Platform

Engineered a full-stack data analysis platform capable of ingesting and modeling over 220,000 sports events using probabilistic methods. The core focus was developing a scalable, event-driven pipeline (Python/SQL) to find positive expected values opportunities in the sport markets.

Key AI and mathematical components include the application of the Shin method for precise inference of implied probabilities and the deployment of Monte Carlo simulations to generate thousands of scenario-based projections. This simulation environment rigorously models volatility (Standard Deviation) and capital growth (Bankroll Projections) to inform data-driven decision-making.
