It's me, David!

Hi! I'm David, an
Ultra-FullStack
Architect
building in the agent era.

For 14+ years I've designed and shipped end-to-end systems: infrastructure, backends, frontends and product. Today I build with AI agents as my team. I use Cursor with project rules, skills and AGENTS.md files, and I work spec-first with OpenSpec, so every change starts as a written proposal and ends as verified, archived specs. That lets me take products from idea to production fast, without the rework.

My current stack is Convex or Supabase on the backend, React, Next.js or SvelteKit on the front, and Netlify and Fly.io for hosting. I build LLM features with the OpenAI API, including WhatsApp conversational agents, embeddings-based search and AI import pipelines. I'm an advocate of spec-driven (SDD) and AI-driven development, and I give talks on both to engineering teams, built on one idea: intent + AI + strong verification.

rewild.quest

Slow tech, nature & philosophy journal

Tirshom

WhatsApp AI ordering for local restaurants

-----------------

I built a multi-tenant SaaS that replaces restaurant phone orders with a WhatsApp AI agent. Customers order in free-form Hebrew or English; the agent builds the order, confirms the price and pushes it to a live kitchen dashboard, where staff manage menus, pricing and orders in a bilingual admin. The backend runs on Convex (AI actions, menu import, conversation summaries), the WhatsApp bridge on Fly.io and the admin on Netlify.

Merhok

Community studio ops for parents

-----------------

I built Merhok for a community studio, to run its operations for parents: they browse activities, enroll in a session, charge a household tab (or pay now via Peach) and get an in-app confirmation from the studio. I built it as a Hebrew RTL product on Next.js 15 + Convex, with the catalog, waitlist, ledger and staff messaging in one warm, bento-style UI.

Woodcut Planner

Wood cutting optimizer: fewer boards, less waste

-----------------

I built a planner that takes a parts list and returns an optimized cutting plan per board, how many boards to buy, a purchase-order CSV and a cut sheet for the workshop. The core is Python, with a CLI and an HTTP API (deployed on Render), plus a SvelteKit web UI.

yeshmi

Auction landing pages for creators and sellers
