Long bio
Shlomi Azran is a software engineer based in Tel Aviv. His career began in C and C++ on Linux and Windows and covers real-time and embedded systems, Linux kernel and camera-sensor drivers, and system software, along with computer vision, native mobile apps, Python/FastAPI backends and self-hosted infrastructure. In each team-lead role he has held, he built and recruited the team. He now works in an AI-native way, pairing written specifications with coding agents, and ships his own products end to end: privacy-first Android apps (FastMe, Lookup, MyHomeGate and Meteo), the Signtime e-signature platform, web projects, and a technical knowledge base on Linux drivers and hardware bring-up. A common thread runs through his apps: no accounts, no ads, no analytics, with data kept on the user's device.
