Hi, my name is
Matanel Pataky.
I solve problems with code.
I'm a software engineer who loves technology and turning complex problems into clean, reliable solutions. From embedded systems to backend services to mobile apps, I build tools that make life easier.
About Me
I'm a software engineer who builds tools that make developers' lives easier and systems that just work. My foundation in the field began with a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
I care deeply about the craft: clean code, solid architecture, and automation. Whether I'm using Rust, Flutter, or TypeScript, I focus on picking the right tool for the job to build solutions that are maintainable and reliable.
That mindset extends to my personal projects, too - whether it's an app to remind me to give my cat his medication or a tool that lets me redesign an entire mobile app from my couch.
