I am the Developer Advocate at Couchbase for Turkey, Israel, the Middle East and Africa (TIMEA) and a Principal Consultant at Yalla, DevRel LLC. My work is dedicated to bridging the divide between developer-focused companies and the developers who build with them. I have worked in lead roles in DevRel teams in companies such as Vonage, Orbit, New Relic and Parity Technologies.

In my personal life, you can find me involved in some of these projects:

• As a member of the board of Ruby Central, helping to support the Ruby community.
• I am building hirethePIVOT, an open source reverse job board for career changers.
• Co-founded and co-organized the israel.rb meetup community.
• Published the Torah && Tech weekly newsletter and book.

Some recent talks I've given at conferences include:

• Rust for High-Level Developers at THAT Conference Wisconsin

• From dApp to Parachain at Polkadot Prague
• Rust for High-Level Developers at Devoxx Greece
