Trained
I'm an AI Builder and Speaker passionate about unlocking real value through generative AI. With 18+ years in tech spanning development, research, and cybersecurity, I've built companies and solutions that push boundaries.
As an AWS GenAI Superstar and GitHub Star, I focus on "vibe coding" with cutting-edge tools, building AI agents with MCP, and creating production-ready solutions that actually ship.
I train developers worldwide through hands-on workshops—including leading global AI events for 1,000+ employees at enterprises like NICE. My approach: less theory, more building.

"Yuval led our global AI learning event for NICE employees. Over 1,000 people from around the world were captivated by his incredible demonstration, where he taught us step by step how to use AI tools to research an idea, and then create a web application, a presentation, infographics, a forecasting dashboard, and an interactive podcast from it. Wow! We are truly grateful to have had him as the third speaker in our AI events series, as he introduced that practical angle we were missing."
