Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Galam is a founding engineer with eight years of software experience, combining early defense-industry work at Rafael with mission-critical cyber development in Unit 8200. He has driven significant performance and reliability gains—leading initiatives that improved library speed 300%, CI/CD throughput 5x, and resolving 70+ critical issues—while also serving as acting team lead and building training programs. Comfortable in small startups and high-stakes government environments, he ships robust backend systems and has contributed open-source cryptanalysis tooling by implementing and testing a Multi-tap decoder for the widely used Ciphey project. Self-taught in areas like 3D graphics and geospatial mapping early in his career, Jacob is now applying that breadth to founding roles at health and stealth startups in Tel Aviv. He pairs hands-on coding with system architecture and developer enablement, and often surfaces non-obvious efficiencies that unlock new use cases.
