Business Design & R&D
for Emergent Technologies

Decade of Experience

Built over 30 prototypes for companies, like: LEGO, Segway, Lenovo, IKEA, ASUS, Disney. 15 reached international stages, like: CES, AWE, BETT. 5 became full-scale products.

Worked in Intel, Lamborghini, and quite a few startups. Served as a developer, designer, producer, and event coordinator.

Solving Meaningful Problems

Enjoy most in solving the hard nuts. Education and learning, health, social communication, bridging differences, ecology and nature - all are meaningful goals I enjoy help solving.

Emergent Tech as Playground

Video games, AR/ VR/ MR, IoT/ Makers/ Robots/ Smart toys, Autonomous vehicles, Computer vision techs (Gesture recognition, Face expressions, speech understanding, Scene understanding) - I have thorough experience with all of these mixed together.

Cross Organization Landscapes

Worked with small startups on getting their first prototype to investors, and with giant corporates to foster internal innovation and creativity.

Offerings

Startups: I know how you feel. You have this terrific business idea and highly innovative tech. Anyone you talk to, either has no clue what you are doing or why, or they just send you away with their blessing to find experts.

Companies: I know how you feel. You see all this innovation and new techs popping up. Maybe even your competitors started to exploit some of it. If you trust this to be a lasting tech or not, you feel you have to stay on top of it.

BACKGROUND:
User experience oriented product owner with implementation skill-set. Passionate about bridging business goals with product identity, resulting in concise experiences and turning users’ needs into a solid design. Extensive background in agile development cycle from prototype to release in both startup environment and corporate, with an expertise for emergent technologies.

An invited speaker in the local design, development, gaming and ed-tech communities, often evangelizing on effectively using play and game mechanics in education; creative learning; project based learning and simulations; emergent technologies; and creative experience design.

Teaches about entrepreneurship, user experience and discovering innovation, fast prototyping with Unity3D, robotics and gamification.

Collaborated on writing a patent.

MOTIVATIONS:

  • Driven to find the simplest solution to the user. The technology behind is only a tool to reach that path. I believe that the user experience is the selling point of the product and not the technology it sits on.
  • Seek win-win situations for both the product, the business and its clients.

EDUCATION:
Holds an M.B.A in Supercars, Superbikes and Motorsports (with additional aspects of Innovation Management) from the Business School of University of Bologna, Italy.
Holds B.A in Technologies for Learning from Holon Institute of Technology, Israel. Human-Computer Interaction Design, Educational Game Development, Ed-Tech and Online Learning.
Also has certificates in Design Thinking from: Cooper Inc, Coursera, Lynda, UXVision.
