25+ years if experience as an IT Systems Engineer.
I lectured in various conferences in Israel and abroad.
Bootstrapped my career as a systems administrator in a small StartUp, and a few years later learned about my passion to learn & teach ;) ,
My Day job was running production for a small ISP running various sub-systems, which quickly grew in demand, my journey continued when I joined Tikal ~16 years ago as a Configuration Manager and grew from there into the DevOps field.
I'm not the traditional geek 😉 I am very passionate about what I do ♾️.

25+ лет опыта работы инженером ИТ-систем.
Я читал лекции на различных конференциях в Израиле и за рубежом.
Начал карьеру системного администратора в небольшом стартапе, а несколько лет спустя понял, что мне нравится учиться и преподавать ;) ,
Моя основная работа заключалась в управлении производством для небольшого интернет-провайдера, который запускал различные подсистемы, спрос на которые быстро рос, мое путешествие продолжилось, когда я присоединился к Tikal ~16 лет назад в качестве менеджера по конфигурации и оттуда перешел в сферу DevOps.
Я не традиционный гик 😉 Я очень увлечен тем, что я делаю ♾️.

Farm to Table Software Delivery - DevOps to Platform Engineering
The way we build, deliver, and operate software has undergone a massive transformation over the past decade. What started as a DevOps-centric approach—focused on automation, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code—has now evolved into a Platform Engineering paradigm. This shift prioritizes self-service, developer experience, and scalable platform abstractions to enable high-velocity software delivery. In this session, we will explore how organizations are modernizing their software delivery pipelines, infrastructure, and operational models to drive agility, efficiency, and reliability.
Drawing from real-world experience as a DevOps consultant and platform engineer, I will take attendees through the journey of software delivery evolution—from early configuration management days to the current Platform Engineering movement. We will discuss the critical role of self-service platforms in empowering developers while ensuring governance, security, and operational excellence at scale.
- Cloud-native and DevOps cultural shifts Configuration Management -> Platform Engineering,
- From bare metal to managed services - *aaS
- The impact of the 12/15-factor app principles on modern application design
- The transition from traditional CI/CD to platform-centric delivery models
- Choosing the right "welding point" between applications and cloud providers
- Architectural patterns for Kubernetes-based software delivery
Building a Cloud Native Platform Brick by Brick
The overwhelming growth of technologies in the cloud native foundation overtook our toolbox and completely changed (well, really enhanced) the developer experience.
In this talk, I will share my personal journey from the "operator's to developer's chair" and the practices which helped me along my journey as a cloud-native developer.

Cloud Native Devs !
Cloud Environments and Architectures, such as Serverless and Microservices, and their effective Deployment and Stability of Production have been our main focus, but we are now seeing the developer experience shifting. Forced to combine many subsystems together on our laptops it has become a mirror of the cloud. We used to call this our Integrated Development Environment, and we should start treating it as one. In this session, we will take a short tour of many patterns & tools designed to enhance the developer experience. From various integrations augmenting our existing IDE's to Internal Development Platforms designed as self-service platforms for developers.
