About

I'm Ronen

I'm Ronen Azam, a Fullstack Developer from Shefa-‘Amr, fluent in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, and proud of my Druze heritage. My journey into coding began in 2019 during high school, where I built early projects like Snake, XO, and a fully featured calculator. Since then, I’ve developed a wide range of projects — some AI-powered, others built from scratch using core web technologies. I'm currently enrolled in HackerU’s Fullstack + AI program, sharpening my skills to become a professional developer by 2026.

Before tech, I served in the Golani Brigade as a combat soldier and commander, leading teams in high-pressure situations — including the events of October 7th. Later, I worked in law enforcement while building tools and businesses on the side, such as an AI-powered scheduling system and a custom image collage app. My background instilled resilience, leadership, and a passion for building things that solve real-world problems.
