I've been building on the open web for close to two decades — as a developer, agency owner, community organizer, startup founder, and ecosystem builder. The through-line in all of it is a genuine love for what WordPress and open source make possible, and for the people who show up to make it better.

I'm based in Israel, I'm a mother of seven, and I believe the open web is worth defending.

This site is part of that practice, too - built and rebuilt through conversation with Claude rather than by hand, one session at a time. Here's how it actually works.
