Raphael Cohen is a seasoned software engineering leader and Head of R&D based in Tel Aviv with over 25 years of technology experience and a dozen years focused on hands-on mobile and embedded systems leadership. He has led cross-border teams and delivered production mobile, embedded, and backend solutions—from Kotlin Multiplatform and BLE medical device drivers to OTA platforms for IoT gateways—combining deep engineering with pragmatic product thinking. His background spans startups and enterprise projects across Android/iOS, Golang, NodeJS, and cloud platforms (Google Cloud, AWS), with a strong track record in CI/CD automation, architecture, and reducing technical debt. Raphael is comfortable switching hats between technical lead, mentor, and delivery manager, having run global teams in Israel, India and Western Europe and guided migrations such as Objective-C to Swift and complex system re-architectures. He pairs formal training in statistics and information technologies with a knack for bridging embedded constraints and modern mobile architectures—a skill reflected in device driver work and cross-platform POCs. Known for solving tricky scaling, compatibility and uptime problems, he brings both low-level systems fluency and strategic R&D leadership to product-centric engineering organizations.
