Gilad Dor is a seasoned software engineer with three decades of production experience and a recent focus on prompt engineering and LLM-driven applications. He combines enterprise-grade systems design—rebuilding Yahoo!’s secrets manager and architecting high-throughput ad-serving and security platforms—with hands-on AI product delivery, having shipped interactive narrative engines, personalized story generators, and linguistic research tools. Equally comfortable in C++, Java, and full-stack development, he also contributes to open-source infrastructure like Athenz, improving caching, security, and config management. Based in Israel, Gilad bridges legacy-scale engineering rigor with cutting-edge prompt design, often using dynamic, multi-stage prompt chains and embedded vectors to make LLMs reliable in real-world workflows.
