Hi, I'm Gilad · co-founder of ArtSEE

I build things, help people grow, and play drums.

Full platforms, self-running data systems, OOAKY, and now ArtSEE, defense tech born in my reserve duty. I also teach engineers to work smarter and feel good at what they do.

ArtSEE

Co-founder · now

A defense-tech SaaS platform for artillery operations. It turns work that still runs on paper and memory into data units can act on. It comes from problems I hit first-hand as a fire-control NCO during reserve service.

    A simulation. The real thing runs in production at Alison AI.

    A self-healing data pipeline you can break on purpose. It needs JavaScript to run.

    Why I build

    I'm a self-learner, and I build things out of interest. Three worlds shape how I work (tap one).

    • In the artillery corps I'm a fire-control NCO. I've seen where ops still run on paper and memory.
    • At work I'm a data engineer who builds platforms that run themselves.
    • Behind the kit I'm a drummer who thinks in timing and precision.

    Where they meet: find the real problem, build the thing that solves it, and make it hold up. That's how OOAKY happened, and why ArtSEE exists.

    It's all about being human. Being happy, active and proactive. Being who I am, doing what really interests me, and always trying new things.
