Biographical material

I'm a software engineer with a bias toward systems that touch the physical world — embedded firmware, computer vision, and the cloud infrastructure that ties devices together. At Secantix I serve as founding engineer, where I built a closed-source machine vision and motion control platform for medical vial identification (admitted to the Road2 Accelerator with NVIDIA and Mati). That work spans low-level ESP32 motion control, OpenCV calibration pipelines with sub-0.1 mm tolerances, and a secure AWS IoT Core telemetry stack — most of it lives in private repos like vial-scanner and esp32-motion-link.

In parallel I develop internal data tooling at Easy.co.il (easy_extension, easy_crawler): standardizing ingestion and export across 25+ data sources and cutting processing turnaround from days to under an hour with in-browser automations, GCP, and Firestore. I also direct the Ruppin Programming Club, leading student teams through KabatOne/CityShob industry partnerships — four shipped products across two semesters plus a campus hackathon — and have taught Python, C#, math, and physics since 2022.

Open source & side projects

My public GitHub (@ShahafShavit, 16 repos) is where the full-stack work lives. Highlights:

• RYDO — the largest public codebase: cycling platform with Mapbox, .NET API, mobile via Capacitor, AWS CDK deploy scripts I wrote to match what I use professionally.
• FinCompiler — MIT-licensed finance compiler I dogfood for my own ledger analytics.
• chrome-extension-upload — a GitHub Marketplace Action I published so extension releases (including Hide-Matalot) can ship without manual dashboard uploads.
• Hide-Matalot — Moodle extension other Ruppin students fork; proof that utility beats polish for campus tools.
