You can find various information here, some of it may actually interest you (probably most will not). Here is a link to my cv.

I am currently working at a leading hi-tech company in israel, and have recently finished my PhD at the computer science department of ben gurion university of the negev, israel, under the supervision of Professor Shlomi Dolev.

My main research interests lie in communications, high-speed, low latency networking, distributed computing, fault tolerance, randomized algorithms and distributed applications of expander graphs. A list of my publications so far can be found here.

I have started several open source projects, among them is xgestures, an implementation of a general purpose gesture recognition program for X (any unix with an X server). You can download the code from sourceforge. My newest effort is vt-ng, a virus throttling daemon for linux.
