Pearson Game Design

Online project based course in game design

This was a really exciting (and huge) project to work on. In a year long online course, students learn about the principles of game design, then design and develop their own 3D video game and AR experience. Throughout the course, students develop advanced skills in Game Design, 3D Modelling, C# and Unity development, as well as project management and marketing for the video game industry.

ChatterBox Language

Immersive language mobile and VR app

ChatterBox is the culmination of years of design, development, and product management experience. The concept came out of a Hebrew/Bible curriculum I made for the Lookstein Center of Bar Ilan University, and is a fresh and fun approach to learning a language naturally. No more flash cards and boring lessons! ChatterBox let's a user immediately enter an entertaining storyline and speak a new language. If Duolingo and Netflix had a child, it would be ChatterBox.

I've assembled and managed a talented distributed team from Israel, Pakistan, Italy, Belarus, and the US, and We're about to launch, and looking for more distribution partners around the globe to join the fun. If that's you, be in touch!

Helen Doron Connect

CEO & CPO

As CEO, I led the transformation of Helen Doron Connect into an AI-driven learning company, redefining how its pedagogy could scale within formal education systems. I drove a strategic pivot toward digital and AI-integrated learning, securing Ministry of Education approval for public funding and positioning the company for investment and global expansion. Alongside managing board and stakeholder alignment, I led an operational turnaround—building core teams, introducing data-driven decision-making, and significantly reducing costs through in-house development and automation.

Previously, as Chief Product Officer, I built the Helen Doron Connect platform from the ground up, translating a proven educational methodology into a scalable, digital-first product aligned with government curriculum and assessment standards. I led the full product lifecycle, from concept through multi-year deployment across state schools, including the development of live learning infrastructure, teacher training and QA systems, and robust data frameworks to track student progress—ensuring consistent, high-quality implementation across classrooms, educators, and learners.

Gaon Gemara

A skill-based curriculum for Talmudic study

Talmud is the primary text of Jewish law, yet the fact of the matter is that most Jewish day school graduates cannot make heads or tails of it! Schools generally adopt a content-driven approach to catching student attention, covering current topics such as Jewish law and stem-cell research, or civic responsibility. Alternatively, they simply learn at the students, expecting them to pick it the basic skills of Talmud study by osmosis over years of study.

Both of these approaches simply don't work. Gaon Gemara takes the proven approach of Shapell's College of Jewish Studies, a yeshiva for beginner Talmud students in Jerusalem, in developing self sufficient students of the Talmud. Using extensive scaffolding, students become part of the debate from the get-go, and are stimulated not by interesting topics alone, but by generating their own creative and analytical thoughts, as they become a part of the process of deriving Jewish law and applying it to real world situations.

Lookstein Virtual Jewish Academy

A series of games for building Hebrew and Bible skills

For this online course, I adopted the approach of Cathy Fosnot from Dreambox learning, plotting the natural progression of skill development in reading the Hebrew Bible, or Tanach. Students were guided to naturally discover and develop new skills as they explored relevant content. This provided really creative ways for students to learn, such as a mathematics game to learn the numerical values of each Hebrew letter (did you know that was a thing?!), a boxing game to learn the vowelization of the Hebrew alphabet, a journey through the Sinai desert, and much more. The Lookstein Foundation is based out of Bar Ilan University, and have a long history of thought leadership among US Jewish Day Schools.
