Summary
Alon Rashelbach is a deep-tech researcher and systems architect with a decade of experience building ultra-low-latency, data-intensive infrastructure and now serving as Co-Founder & CTO of a stealth startup. He holds a PhD from Technion and pioneered trading memory accesses for computations with the RQRMI, translating neural-model ideas into production systems that delivered up to 160× throughput gains in Open vSwitch. His expertise spans low-level systems programming (C/C++, DPDK, XDP), FPGA hardware engines, and compact genomic indexing accelerators, reflecting a rare fluency across algorithms, hardware, and software. A prolific academic contributor (NSDI, SIGCOMM, IEEE MICRO, ACM/IEEE TON), he consistently turns novel research into scalable, production-grade solutions. Notably, his work includes multitenant in-network acceleration and neural approaches to packet classification, demonstrating both systems-level impact and product-focused engineering. Based in Israel, he pairs hands-on implementation chops with startup leadership and a strong track record of shipping high-throughput systems.
