# Ron Dahan - SDE > I build systems that survive contact with the real world - flaky sites, noisy video, unreliable APIs. **Open to SDE internships & student roles** · Israel ## Contact - Email: ron.dahan04@gmail.com - GitHub: https://github.com/rondahan04 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rondahan04 - CV (PDF): https://www.rondahan.com/ron-dahan-cv.pdf ## About I'm a software engineer who likes the messy half of the problem: the retailer that blocks your scraper, the video with a scoreboard you have to read with OCR, the API that times out before your job finishes. Most of what's here started as a question I couldn't answer by reading. Can a genetic algorithm learn to play a platformer? Can you get a usable price comparison out of four websites that don't want to give you one? Each one turned into something that runs. ## Education **B.Sc. Computer Science**, Reichman University (10/2024 - expected 08/2027) Algorithms (86), Operating Systems (93), Data Structures, OOP ## Experience ### Software Developer - Code4Good (volunteer program) 03/2026 - present Computer vision pipeline using SIFT feature matching and CLIPSeg for automated image segmentation and shoreline detection, across a large-scale environmental research database. Wrapped the models in a GUI so research staff could run them without ML expertise. ### Team Commander & Operations Lead - IDF, Artillery Corps 11/2018 - 11/2021 Directed a team of 12 in high-pressure operational environments, owning daily operations and logistics. Built a Google Sheets tracking system for performance metrics and qualifications across 12+ soldiers. ## Selected work ### [Icy Tower - Game & AI](https://www.rondahan.com/projects/icy-tower) 2025 - 2026 · Vanilla JS, Canvas, MediaPipe, Genetic Algorithms A browser platformer built with no game engine, plus a neural network taught to climb it by a genetic algorithm, reaching floor 179 after 2,000 generations. Playable in the browser: https://www.rondahan.com/games/icy-tower/index.html ### [ScrapeGoat](https://www.rondahan.com/projects/scrapegoat) 2026 · Python, FastAPI, Playwright, Next.js Type a product name and get the price, rating, and review count from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Newegg side by side, pulled live rather than from a stale database. Live demo: https://scrapegoat-demo.vercel.app (recorded run, not a live scrape) ### [PlantAI](https://www.rondahan.com/projects/plantai) 2026 · Work in progress · React Native, Expo, TypeScript, LLM pipelines A React Native app that chains two vision models, one to identify the plant and one to diagnose it, then returns a treatment plan. ### [Table Tennis Analyzer](https://www.rondahan.com/projects/table-tennis-analyzer) 2026 · Computer Vision, YOLOv8, OCR, React Give it a table tennis video and it returns an annotated replay, a score chart read straight off the scoreboard, and a position heatmap, with no manual tagging. ### [Workflow Automations](https://www.rondahan.com/projects/automations) 2025 · n8n, Telegram, Supabase, Amadeus API A bilingual Telegram grocery-list bot backed by Postgres, and a flight price monitor that watches a Google Sheet wishlist and alerts when fares move. Both were built to learn the tooling and run for my own use - no other users. ## Toolkit - **Languages:** TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C, C#, SQL, Bash, HTML, CSS - **Frontend:** React, Next.js, React Native / Expo, Tailwind CSS, HTML5 Canvas - **Backend & data:** FastAPI, Node.js, REST APIs, Job queues, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Firebase - **ML & computer vision:** YOLOv8, OpenCV, Keras / JAX, EasyOCR, MediaPipe, Genetic algorithms - **Testing & QA:** Manual testing, Quality assurance, Issue documentation, Playwright - **Fundamentals:** Algorithms, Data structures, Object-oriented programming, Operating systems, Recursion - **Tooling:** Git & GitHub, Linux CLI, VS Code, IntelliJ, Xcode, Gradle, ESLint / Prettier, n8n, Vercel - **AI workflow:** Claude Code, Cursor, Google AI Studio, NotebookLM, AI prompting - **Spoken languages:** English (fluent), Hebrew (fluent) --- Machine-readable: [llms.txt](https://www.rondahan.com/llms.txt) · [sitemap.xml](https://www.rondahan.com/sitemap.xml) · Markdown variants at [/md](https://www.rondahan.com/md) or via `Accept: text/markdown`.
