About

Hi, I’m Eyal — a Senior Software Engineer with a PhD from MIT, a BA from Harvard, and over a decade of experience building and scaling impactful technology in health tech, AI, and large-scale cloud systems.
At Verily (Alphabet’s life sciences company), I’ve led engineering for FDA-regulated medical device platforms and next-generation AI-powered health systems that serve tens of thousands of patients across web, mobile, and API surfaces. My work spans full-stack architecture, microservices, big data pipelines, and machine learning — always with a focus on quality, safety, and speed.

Beyond the code, I’ve mentored engineers at all levels — from junior devs to tech leads — helping them grow their design instincts, engineering confidence, and career direction. I love helping people cut through complexity, find clarity, and make progress toward their goals.

I offer mentorship in areas including:
* Full-stack software architecture & scalable system design
* Interview prep (coding, design, behavioral)
* Career transitions into software engineering or leadership
* Technical project guidance and code reviews
* Navigating growth in complex orgs (especially in healthcare, AI, or highly regulated industries)

I bring an academic’s curiosity, an engineer’s pragmatism, and a mentor’s patience to every session. Whether you're aiming to land your first tech role, sharpen your thinking, or take your career to the next level, I’m here to help.

I've been working with Eyal since June and he's been very helpful for me! He's been able to work with my non-traditional background and come up with a strategy for finding jobs that would best suit me. He's also directed my DSA study to be more focused on the actual algorithms and data structures that would come up in interviews. Most of all, I really appreciate his communication style. He tries to really get to know your situation so that he could tailor his advice for your situation. He's also a very patient and positive person which make every conversation with him very pleasant. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to choose Eyal as a mentor for his advice, teaching style, and overall great vibes
