Summary
Doron Segal is a seasoned technology entrepreneur and engineering leader with over a decade of experience building high-availability platforms, mobile products, and startups. As Co-Founder of Per Diem and former Director of Platform at Saildrone, he combines hands-on full-stack engineering (Go, Python, Node.js) with product-minded leadership, scaling teams and systems for real-time, data-intensive operations. A self-taught engineer who landed his first role at 16 after finding a bank security flaw, he later served as a commander in an Israeli tech combat unit, honing crisis management and people leadership under extreme pressure. Doron blends security, cloud, and big-data expertise with a maker’s curiosity—hacking blockchain apps in his spare time—and is an active blogger and open-source contributor. He pairs formal leadership training from Berkeley Haas and YC experience with a track record of shipping production systems across startups and large companies.
