    Bio

    I stumbled across WordPress eighteen years ago and it was love at first sight. Since then, I went on to found one of Israel’s leading WordPress development agencies, illuminea. More recently I founded Strattic, the “unhosting” platform that publishes WordPress as static and serverless, making it virtually unhackable, infinitely scalable and exponentially faster. Strattic was acquired by Elementor in June 2022, and now I’m **Head of WordPress at Elementor**.

    Five-time organizer of WordCamp Israel, regular speaker at WordPress meetups and events including WordCamp Europe, WordCamp US, WordCamp London and more.
