Led the product lifecycle for a cybersecurity solution from idea to full-scale deployment. As the co-founder and VP of product for Netonomy (acquired by Allot), I oversaw the product roadmap, daily tasks, release planning, and sales support.

Netonomy's solution (renamed Allot HomeSecure) provides a cybersecurity solution for home networks. The solution is based on a software agent installed on an existing home router or gateway, monitoring the traffic of devices on the home network, identifying malicious activity and blocking it, and providing protection to the entire home network without the need to install anything on the physical devices in the home. The product also provides digital parenting features such as time limits per device and website filtering, providing a kids-safe browsing experience.

AutomateIt is an Android app designed to automate various tasks on your mobile or tablet. It can toggle sound mode to silent at night or during meetings, alert when the battery is low, turn on Wi-Fi when you are at home, and many other options.

The app provides a list of "triggers" like location, battery, calls, or messages, that can be paired by the user to "actions" such as change settings, send messages, or play sounds to create "rules" that control the device automatically.
