About Me

Storytelling has always been my lifelong passion—a counterpoint to my distinguished career in the high-tech world. For over 25 years, I worked with leading companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, and Apple, driving innovation in electronic design automation (EDA), chip design, and artificial intelligence. While technology shaped my perspective and career path, my heart has always belonged to writing.
Through my books, I explore the depths of human experience and the enduring power of faith. My work spans diverse genres, including Holocaust narratives, science fiction, and stories rooted in the Middle East. Despite their differences, each story is connected by a common thread: the exploration of human redemption and the timeless beliefs that can transform both individuals and society.

Alongside my writing, I hold a strong academic foundation. I earned a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Doctorate in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data from Colorado Technical University. Over the years, I have shared my expertise through professional lectures at international EDA and chip design conferences and have authored technical articles in prestigious publications. 

Today, I serve as Chief Technology Officer, leading groundbreaking innovations in EDA technologies and AI companies. Yet, when I step away from technology, I return to the world of words, crafting narratives that reflect both history and imagination. I currently live and write in Southern California, where I continue to pursue my dual passions: advancing technology and telling stories that resonate across cultures and generations.
