Managed multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining strict deadlines and high-quality standards.

Notable Projects:

• Developed a client-server (WPF, WCF) tool for developing and building Intel's 'test-programs,', the tool was later replaced with a text-first, Visual-Studio-extension based. This critical tool serviced thousands of internal users and was essential for sorting, classifying, and testing Intel's chips on various systems.
• Created tools for managing Intel's specifications and line items, streamlining the process and improving efficiency.
• Developed a tool to orchestrate job execution in Intel's lab, enhancing workflow automation and productivity.
• Designed and developed a graphical tool for exploring and analyzing test results, providing intuitive data visualization and insights.
• Contributed to building a test library that supported various algorithms for testing Intel's products, improving test coverage and reliability.
• Designed and developed a high-volume logging infrastructure for monitoring the usage and coverage of 'test-programs', ensuring comprehensive tracking and analysis.
• And many more.

• Tech lead and chief engineer at Intel Hillsboro, Oregon, USA (Intel Israel relocation program).
• Led the team of 15 developers through the development of one of the organization's most critical tools responsible for generating Intel's 'test-programs' for sorting, classifying and validating Intel's chips. The tool serviced more than 3000 'test-program' developers world wide and provided a rich and modern user interface (WPF) and a blazing fast build engine that compiled their work into hardware (testers) specific language.
• Worked in a multi-cultural environment with developers from all around the world.
• Mentored junior developers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill improvement.
• Collaborated with product managers to define technical requirements and develop innovative solutions for complex problems.
