Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAvishay Cohen is a seasoned founder and engineering leader with 10 years of experience building developer-facing products that accelerate front-end delivery. As Co-founder and CEO of Anima (YC S18), he has led the company to tens of thousands of users by automating front-end workflows for design systems, MVPs, demos and high-end websites. His background spans mobile and computer-vision R&D—having led AR research and built in-house mobile teams at Trax and managed a large ML/Big Data R&D group at Mobli—bringing both ML and distributed-systems fluency to product development. Avishay combines hands-on engineering experience (iOS, distributed systems, Scala, Kafka, Cassandra) with startup scaling expertise from YC and running a product-focused company. Based in Tel Aviv, he is on a mission to merge design and engineering cultures so teams ship faster and with fewer handoffs. An underappreciated strength: he repeatedly moves projects from POC to production, translating research prototypes into reliable, high-traffic systems.
