Hi, I’m Ori! I’m an Engineering Manager with over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, passionate about creating seamless, high-performance AI products. I co-founded Microsoft Azure Video Indexer, transforming it from an internal incubation to a robust and successful platform. Currently, I lead an incubation team exploring innovative product areas in the Edge AI space. Beyond my technical work, I’m part of Microsoft Engineering Excellence, co-founded the Microsoft IL Frontend Guild, and thrive on entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship—building ideas from scratch and scaling them into impactful solutions. I hold a BSc from Ben-Gurion University and an MA in HCI from Reichman University, and I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and bridging the gap between technology and people. I'm also curious about Smart Home and building one at my house.
