Some projects I run in my spare time. Updated April 2026
Datahack - I co-founded Datahack with Inbar Naor and help lead it as a volunteer executive director and chair. Datahack is a nonprofit community dedicated to promoting AI, data science, and machine learning in Israel. It runs projects such as DataTalks, DataNights, DataCoach, and Kaggle-IL.
DataNights Program for Data Science Team Leads - I built and ran two cohorts of a DataNights program for data science team leads; the second cohort ran three years ago, and we are planning the third one soon. The program covers roadmaps and vision, project structure, working with product, hiring and managing people from varied backgrounds, project mix, peer review, and the practical routines of leading data science work. Follow DataNights on LinkedIn.
NLPH - I have founded a small online community around natural language processing in Hebrew, in hopes of encouraging joint community initiatives and the sharing of resources and knowledge. Activity is focused around our Facebook group and a resource repository.
DataConf - A yearly, casual data science conference by Datahack, meant to bring together data science and machine learning experts from the top companies in Israel for a day of knowledge sharing.
DataTalks - A meetup series by Datahack, dedicated to deep, technical talks on data science and machine learning, featuring speakers from both academia and industry.
