About Me

Headshot of Omri Peretz, Software Engineer

I'm a product-driven software engineer, currently pursuing my B.Sc. in Computer Science. For me, engineering is not just about writing code, but about ownership: seeing a real-world problem and building a complete solution. This mindset led me to create, launch, and monetize QuickBars for Home Assistant, a native Android TV app that has grown to over 4,000 users.

My approach to software is deeply influenced by my background as an IDF Naval Officer. Leading teams in high-stakes environments taught me the importance of strategic planning, operational discipline, and clear communication. I bring that same focus on reliability and mission success to every project I undertake.
