About

Tel Aviv. I design and build AI products end to end, then I run the growth that sells them.

Most people who can design a product cannot ship the model layer underneath it. Most people who can ship that layer cannot sell what they built. I do the whole line: discovery, UX and UI in Figma, the LLM integration and prompt architecture, the funnel, and the growth engine that brings people in.

That is not a boast about range, it is the reason the work is fast. There is no handoff between the person who decided what to build, the person who designed it and the person who wrote the prompt that makes it work. On some of the products here that was all one person. On the rest I led the people who did it, which only works if you can do each part yourself.

I founded Elya Group in 2024 and it has shipped more than 30 AI-native products at over 60% margin per project, with a bench of 15 to 22 specialists. A lot of the pipeline comes in through the content engine I built for it: 60+ long-form pieces engineered for search and the answer engines, which keeps compounding long after they are published.

Before that I co-founded Q-int and sold it. Before that, Palto, which wound down after the Israeli Bar Association challenged the model. That one was a market constraint, not a product one, and it is the reason I now check the regulatory surface before the design surface.
