Amit Hershkovitz Email & Phone Number

I have over seven years of experience as a Simulation Engineer, specializing in Python software development for multi-physics simulations. My work has focused on solving complex problems with code, optimizing performance, and building modular tools that make simulation development more efficient.I started my journey in Mechanical Engineering through the 'Brakim' excellence program at the Technion, where I earned both my B.Sc. and M.Sc. My master’s research was a blend of engineering and computer vision, where I developed algorithms to reconstruct and track 3D motion in fluid dynamics experiments.At the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel, I developed Python software for simulations to ensure the safety of critical components, significantly optimized runtime for core tools, and co-created simulation infrastructure that enhanced efficiency for engineers across disciplines. These efforts earned me three Excellence Awards for outstanding achievements.Recently, I’ve transitioned my focus to machine learning, completing a Deep Learning Specialization and leading personal projects, such as a UAV detection pipeline using YOLO and hyperparameter tuning with modern tools like Ray Tune. These experiences have solidified my passion for leveraging algorithms to solve real-world problems.I'm a hard worker, driven by curiosity and passion for my profession, and a continual learner always looking to broaden my knowledge and deepen my expertise. Over the years, I've read books, completed courses, read endless forum threads and lines of code, and gained experience that has strengthened my ability to overcome algorithmic challenges.I'm seeking a role as a Machine Learning Engineer, Deep Learning Engineer, Data Scientist, or Algorithms Developer, where my passion and skills intersect.
