About Me

Gilad Shoham

I believe that software development is a tool to improve human life. I find software to be the most powerful way to share value in order to connect people and improve the quality of all our lives.

Software engineering for me is like painting or sculpting, it's a way to take a complicated and beautiful structure lay, connect all the dots piece by piece, and create a masterpiece. It's more than just art, it's life.

That's why I wake up with a smile and keep it on all day long. I am lucky to be paid for doing what I love the most. That's what makes me a great engineer. I'm not smarter than others, I just really care. I love what I do and do what I love, so I don't play the nine-to-five game, I live it 24/7.

This rush makes me develop community projects like Stunity and learn new paradigms and tools with the passion of a child getting a new toy running around and having fun without the need for any additional incentive. I share my beliefs with others to inspire them, and some follow. I also learn from others. That's what makes me a true leader.
