Top SchoolOren Melamed is a GenAI transformation leader and seasoned engineering executive with 12 years of experience building scalable video and AI-first products from Tel Aviv. He has led R&D orgs at Kaltura and Gloat, owning backend and frontend stacks (Python, FastAPI, microservices, Kafka, React/React Native) and driving developer experience, CI/CD and device-fragmented OTT video solutions.

He’s an active contributor to the popular hls.js project, improving WebVTT parsing and subtitle stability—an example of hands-on expertise that complements his strategic leadership. Early career roles in ASIC and system validation gave him a pragmatic hardware-to-software perspective that informs robust product design. He now leads GenAI transformation at AT&T Israel R&D, translating research-grade models into production-grade engineering practices.
