SOFTWARE ARCHITECT · PRODUCT BUILDER

I design and ship complete systems.

From architecture to production: web products, AI-powered tools, and the infrastructure underneath them — designed, built, and shipped end to end.

Selected work.

VS Code extension for debugging

Unfold AI

A developer tool that turns runtime state into a visual, explorable debugging surface inside VS Code.

The interesting decision: the entire inspection pipeline runs locally against the debug adapter protocol, so it works with any language runtime VS Code supports — no per-language integration to maintain.

SaaS — AI video generation platform · app.vidboxai.com

Vidbox AI

A platform that lets businesses, creators, and marketers generate commercial-ready videos from text prompts — avatar and talking-head videos, product videos, and UGC-style ads — on top of models like Sora and Kling.

The whole platform is one system built end to end: prompt handling and moderation, provider routing, credit-based billing, asynchronous generation workflows on Step Functions, and FFmpeg post-processing inside Lambda containers. Shipped Hebrew-first for the Israeli market and in English globally.

System architect — terahertz imaging & classification platforms

TERA Group

Company architect for advanced imaging systems: designed the end-to-end architecture connecting optical sensing hardware, FPGA acquisition, embedded controllers, and AWS-based ML training and inference pipelines.

Led the software side too — large Python acquisition and control systems, real-time hardware control, and the path from R&D prototypes to production-ready platforms.

sensors to cloud ML, one architecture

What I do.

Product engineering

Full products from MVP to production: web and mobile applications, SaaS platforms, dashboards, and the internal tools that run a business.

AI agents & systems

AI agents, assistants, generation pipelines, and LLM features that survive contact with real users — built into the product, not bolted on.

Architecture & cloud

End-to-end system design: AWS and serverless infrastructure, event-driven and ML pipelines, migrations, cost and reliability work.

Engagements: fixed-scope builds, fractional architecture, or ongoing retainers.

How I work.

Full ownership, end to end. No handoffs, no account managers — you talk directly to the builder.

Boring infrastructure, exciting product. I spend novelty budget where users feel it.

Ship weekly. You see real progress, not status reports.

I say no early. If I'm not the right builder for it, you'll know from my first reply.

About.

I'm Tal — a software engineer and product builder based in Israel. I shipped Unfold AI, a developer tool serving 100K+ developers, built production backend systems at TERA, and I run a systems practice for businesses in the Israeli market. If we work together, the person on the first call is the person writing the code.
