Statement

For 22 years I’ve built the things businesses actually run on: storefronts, platforms, and the AI that quietly does the work. One operator, the whole stack, zero gaps.

Spot.io

The cloud-cost platform NetApp acquired for $450M.

Founding-team engineer on Spot (formerly Spotinst). Built the real-time, multi-cloud dashboards and the AWS, Azure, and GCP API integrations that gave engineering teams a live view of their infrastructure spend: the data layer the continuous-optimization engine ran on.

Salem Wine & Liquor · AI & Automation

Salem Wine & Liquor

Six decades of wine expertise, now with an AI catalog engine.

A family-owned fine wine and spirits shop serving South Salem, NY since 1966. To bring that expertise online, I built a behind-the-scenes AI system on their Square storefront: it writes accurate product descriptions, sources bottle imagery, and organizes thousands of wines and spirits into a clean, browsable catalog, backed by pricing intelligence and inventory automation.

Tres Colori · Fractional CTO · E-commerce

Tres Colori

The storefront you see, and the order-ops machine behind it.

Personalized-jewelry brand whose customers design their own name necklaces, rings, and bracelets. As fractional CTO I own both halves of the engine: the custom Shopify storefront shoppers personalize on, and trescolori.cloud, the Laravel platform that turns each order into a manufactured, shipped, and tracked piece.

Handled Entertainment

A portfolio built like the work: impossible to scroll past.

Handled Entertainment is a New York content studio shooting vertical-first films for brands like Shake Shack, Grubhub, Walmart, and Bobby Flay. I designed and built their new home from scratch: a dense wall of autoplaying reels on desktop, and "The Projection Room" on mobile, a full-screen snap feed that presents the studio's films the way they're meant to be watched.

Goodbye Inventory · Live-Commerce Platform

Goodbye Inventory

Built for resellers who refuse to compromise.

A premium beauty-wholesale platform for resellers. It marries a polished Shopify storefront with a custom Laravel backend so any-lot-size buying, live-auction drops, and monthly subscription boxes all run on one coherent system. I led the full build: storefront, reseller purchasing rules, the inventory engine, and the live-shopping experience.

Difference Coffee · Luxury Shopify · Founder-led

Difference Coffee

A bespoke storefront for the world's rarest coffee.

Difference Coffee sells the world's rarest coffees, single estates and competition lots, as Nespresso-compatible capsules poured in over 100 Michelin-starred restaurants. I design and build their Shopify storefront hand in hand with founder Amir: a warm, editorial theme in serif type and gold accents, assembled from custom sections and refined round after round into a storefront as considered as the packaging.

In Their Words

The custom order management system they built for us is a game-changer. We track every custom piece from order to delivery, and our customers love the real-time updates.
Founder · Tres Colori
Finally, we can see exactly what we have in stock across all our locations. The system pays for itself every month in prevented overselling and faster fulfillment.
Store Manager · NYCMode
Our new website captures the magic of Coco Bungo perfectly. More importantly, guests now book directly with us, which has significantly improved our margins.

About

One operator. The whole stack.

I’m Eyal, an Internet Maker. For 22 years I’ve designed, built, and shipped digital products end to end: the storefront and the backend, the cloud it runs on, and increasingly the AI that does the quiet work behind it.

I’ve been a founding-team engineer on a platform NetApp acquired for $450M, and a fractional CTO who owns a brand’s entire technology stack for years. Most of my clients hire one person and get a whole team’s worth of range: design, code, infrastructure, and judgment.

Questions

FAQ

I build entire digital products end to end (custom web apps, online stores, and AI automation) plus the cloud infrastructure to run them. One person covering design, code, and infrastructure, so you don’t have to assemble a team.

Yes. For several clients I own the whole technology stack on retainer (architecture, infrastructure, vendor decisions, and roadmap) the way a partner would, for a fraction of a full-time hire.

Mostly Laravel + Livewire/Vue on the backend, Shopify for commerce, and AWS / Laravel Cloud for infrastructure, with Claude and OpenAI wired in where AI earns its place. I pick boring, durable tools and ship.

New York City. I work with clients across the US and Israel, remote-first, in both English and Hebrew.

Send a short note about what you’re building and the timeline. If it’s a fit, we’ll talk; if it isn’t, I’ll point you somewhere better. I keep a limited number of engagements at once.

Commission

Let’s build
something real.

Tell me what you’re building and roughly when. If it’s a fit, you get one operator who covers the whole stack. If it isn’t, I’ll point you somewhere better.
