Computers are meant to serve people— Not the other way around. Software is supposed to make it easier and more enjoyable for people to live and work. I try to remember that, and work hard to make users' lives a little bit better. |

My biggest project is
GarlicSim
, and I'm very proud of it. If you're a developer yourself, the best way for you to evaluate my skills is
to dive into the GarlicSim code base. If you're not a developer, you can still browse the GarlicSim
website,
blog
and
documentation
in order to get a feel for my style of work.
I'm also proud of the side project I did in the summer of 2009,
PythonTurtle
. It's an educational program meant to teach
Python
to beginners and kids. It was downloaded by more than 10,000 people, and even though it is primarily geared toward children,
it has also proven successful with adults.
You may also browse my personal website, which contains various articles that I've written.
Also: My GitHub profile.
I take contract jobs, working remotely from my home in Haifa, Israel. (Telecommuting, as they say.)
I try to split my time between (1) the contract jobs that I take, (2) my open-source project and (3) my personal life. I tend not to take more than two contract projects at a time, so I can dedicate sufficient attention to each of them.
I bill my clients by the hour. (The price varies depending on the job, contact me for a quote.) If you wish you may track my work by inspecting the commits I push to GitHub, where we'll set up a private repository for your project.
I maintain communication with my clients using voice chat, video chat, plain old international phone, and email — whichever way the client prefers.
