Hi.

I received Ph.D. in Computer Science from Computer Science Department, Technion, Haifa, Israel in June 2008.
My advisor was Assoc. Prof. Roy Friedman and I was majoring in Distributed Systems and Computer Networks.
I have graduated from the Technion in March 2003, and awarded the degree of B.A. in Computer Science Cum Laude.
I was a teaching assistant in Operating Systems course during Spring 2003 - Winter 2004 and  Distributed Systems course in Winter 2005 and Winter 2006.
I was also supervising student projects in the Distributed Systems Lab.

I previously worked at:

• Narus Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA.
• Distributed Middleware group in IBM - HRL (Haifa Research Lab).
• Qualcomm Israel Ltd.
