AboutTel Aviv, Israel

I build systems thatlet people do thingsthey could not do before.

Amit Straus

That sounds abstract, so: an algorithm to catch forest fires early, a warehouse system, a company-wide AI adoption program, two AI products on nights and weekends, and a football game about identity security.

The common thread is not the technology. It is the gap between what a tool can do and what people are actually willing to do with it. That gap is almost always confidence, not capability, and closing it is the part I am good at. Hand me something at the idea stage and I will take it through to launch.

Right now I lead social, brand and content at Oasis Security as Social Media Manager and AI Engineer, while building the AI systems the team runs on. I manage two designers, build growth and content operations, and create the tools and workflows that make the work more repeatable. I moved into social media in 2026 and built a measurable organic-growth engine within my first months in the role.

07Off the clock

I am a certified motorcycle mechanic and usually happiest somewhere outdoors. I get energy from people, whether I am building alongside a team, learning from someone new, or sharing a ride with friends. Working on real machines has taught me something I bring to systems work too: understand how it actually works, find the real problem, and make the fix hold.
