TAL PERETZ
I design and build backend systems that connect product needs, business logic, and scalable architecture.
About
I build backend systems that turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. My work focuses on architecture, APIs, and distributed systems built for growth.
I work with a product-driven mindset, focusing on maintainability, clarity, and scalability from system design through delivery.
I build backend systems that turn complex product and business requirements into reliable, scalable software. My work focuses on architecture, APIs, distributed systems, and engineering decisions that support real product growth.
I approach software with a product-driven mindset, balancing technical clarity, maintainability, and long-term scalability. From system design to delivery, I focus on building solutions that work well today and remain resilient as complexity grows.
