_{I build software that gets used by people who aren't me — a classroom platform, a social network, a tender tracker a paying customer runs on — and open-source developer tooling that I measure instead of just trusting. I care less about which framework and more about how the pieces hold together when the load, the edge cases, and the deadlines arrive.}

alon-skills is a Claude Code plugin that packages how I build software into six skills and one workflow, and measures them instead of asking you to trust them.

• Six skills. architect writes the design docs before the code. review-swarm runs six parallel specialist reviewers, then verifiers that try to refute each finding, and returns a ranked file:line report. ask-the-council seats advisors who are made to disagree, then commits to one recommendation with the tradeoff named. prompt-generator turns a vague ask into a rigorous agent prompt, and up-to-date runs a read-only repo preflight before work starts. ponytail keeps solutions minimal; it's vendored from DietrichGebert/ponytail (MIT). Each skill fires on the shape of the task and has a written boundary for when to stay quiet.
• Build loop. /alon-skills:build-loop works through a TODO_WORKFLOW.md one row at a time without supervision: plan → spec → build → independent review lenses → fix → close. Every stage is a fresh subagent on the model tier that fits the job, and state lives in the repo, not the chat. Measured once on a throwaway repo, it built, reviewed and closed one row in about four minutes for $1.75.
• Evals. A claude plugin eval suite runs every case with and without the plugin. All 19 cases pass. Across 120 trigger prompts, each skill fired on 80–100% of the prompts meant for it and never on the others.

_{These are the cases with the clearest uplift. Some cases score the same without the plugin because they test when a skill should stay quiet; the full table has all 19.}

_{NUMRA and PawPals both ran in production. They're offline now — nobody's on them at the moment, and I'd rather not pay for idle servers.}

NUMRA is a Hebrew-first platform where a teacher launches a live race and a classroom of students solves arithmetic from their own devices. I built it on a server-authoritative game engine — scoring, difficulty, power-ups, route decisions, catch-up logic, and final rankings all live on the backend, so the game stays fair no matter what a client sends.

PawPals is a full-stack social network — user and dog profiles, posts, follows, reactions, image uploads, and playdate scheduling. It handles authentication, relational modeling, ownership rules, pagination, the race conditions of concurrent writes, and real production error handling. Source →

TenderTrack is the one still running. It watches 31 Israeli public bodies for new tenders and warns about deadlines. A grounded Gemini model scans them nightly. Ask a model to find tenders and it will occasionally invent a convincing one, so every new candidate faces a second independent grounded check before it's allowed into the database. Each body gets its own request rather than being batched, since batching splits the model's attention and costs recall. The Gemini key never leaves the Worker, and a scan that partly failed says so in red instead of quietly reporting success. (Client product — source private.)

Rav-Bariach (08) Industries — Student Employee · Information Systems & AI · current I lead AI adoption across the company: hands-on enablement sessions with employees, and finding the processes worth automating. Alongside that, I build internal IT automation tooling together with the IT team.

Barzilai Medical Center — Student Team Lead · IT, systems & software · previously I led the student team across a live hospital's technology stack — technical support, systems, and software. Built a shift-scheduling automation that turned a manual rostering chore into a repeatable system for the team — a small piece of software that quietly gave people their time back.

Freelance — Web Development I build and ship production sites for real clients end to end: design, build, deploy, hand over. Most recent — Gal Baron Insurance, a Hebrew/RTL site for an independent agent with accessible service discovery, a lead funnel, EmailJS contact flows, WhatsApp integration, SEO metadata, and AWS Amplify hosting (source private — client work).

• Model first. Start with data, flows, and invariants — not framework choices.
• Enforce at the core. Keep business rules where they can be guarded and tested.
• Design the failure paths as deliberately as the happy ones.
• Use AI to move fast, keep the engineering judgment human.
• Ship small, reversible changes over impressive rewrites.

UnDrive removes OneDrive from a Windows PC in the order Microsoft doesn't: secure every file first — download cloud-only placeholders, move everything to local disk, re-point Desktop/Documents/Pictures — and only then uninstall, behind an explicit YES gate. One ~330-line stock-PowerShell script; no installer, no dependencies, safe to re-run.
