who am I

Software Architect. AI Strategist.

I am a software architect and developer with 35 years of Silicon Valley experience.

I've designed and implemented frameworks, programming languages, DSLs, databases, virtual machines, and business solutions at various scales and levels of complexity.

In recent years, my focus has been on helping companies of all sizes across industries leverage modern AI to achieve tangible business benefits: significant cost reductions, short time to market, reduced effort, and lower risk.

I am the go-to person for high engineering productivity across teams of all sizes, for robust, maintainable software architectures that withstand market shifts and human errors, and for the adoption of AI across all levels of business and engineering.

I've had the privilege of developing software solutions for numerous well-known brands, including Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Pepsi, Nestlé, Gatorade, L'Oréal, Fox Corporation, Millennium Entertainment, Travelocity, DERTour, and Robert Mondavi, among many others.

The experience I have gathered over the years is partly summarized in my book, "Become an Awesome Software Architect," a go-to grimoire on enterprise software architecture.

To make my methods and tools widely available to businesses of all sizes, I created Rishon and several masterclasses for those who prioritize in-depth knowledge over shrik-wrapped tooling. I also consult, train, and advise technical leadership and engineering teams on building software systems that are intelligent, resilient, and future-ready, with various degrees of AI assistance.

Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn to explore potential synergies.

Yours Truly,
