Orbach AI and Tech Solutions gives growing and regulated organizations senior technology leadership without the overhead of a full-time executive hire. I work across engineering, cybersecurity, compliance, architecture, and practical AI automation — from diagnosis through delivery.

Built from operating responsibility, not theory.

My work spans hands-on engineering, enterprise technology, cybersecurity, and executive leadership — including environments where reliability, security, and regulatory scrutiny are not optional.

"The goal isn't more technology. It's the smallest secure, maintainable system that solves the business problem and survives contact with reality."

I work directly with founders, executives, and technical teams. The first job is to separate the real constraint from the visible symptom; the second is to choose the solution that creates the most leverage with the least unnecessary complexity.

Communication stays concrete: what is wrong, why it matters, what I recommend, what it will take, and what tradeoffs come with it. Based in Jerusalem and New York, I work with clients across Israel and the U.S.
