Hi, I’m Udi and I love building things.

I’m a software engineer, dad, and smart-home enthusiast. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work at some of the biggest names in tech like Meta/Facebook, Snapchat and Samsung, building and optimizing critical mobile infrastructure. This work has sharpened both my technical skills and my patience! I’ve been developing for Android since the Froyo days (Android 2.2), but my love for mobile development actually started way back with J2ME and Symbian.

I love tackling life’s little inconveniences with creative technical solutions. Whether it’s writing automation scripts, designing circuits, or tackling DIY projects around the house, I’m always building something. This blog is where I share these projects, the problems I solved, and the insights I gained—hoping they might help others too.
