I am a product manager, teacher, mentor, gay cis man, immigrant, expat, American, Israeli, Romanian, dog-dad, and world traveler. I spent the past 16 years (!) at Microsoft – such a great company to work for! – starting with driving business operations teams in support of Microsoft’s advertising business, moving to product management in 2011 and driving app monetization and developer scenarios, and returning to people management in 2015, embarking on driving hardware ecosystem and enterprise scenarios for Windows and Windows Update for Business.
When I am not a Microsoftie, I teach CS AP and Intro to high schoolers in Seattle as a volunteer with the non-profit TEALS that aims to proliferate CS in high schools to encourage students to choose CS in college, especially girls and BIPOC kiddos. And in 2022 I joined UW Continuum College as a Python instructor.
Nir is an inspirational mentor! He gave me not only valuable advice but also the courage to pursue my passion.
