Refael Dakar
A lean, mean coding machine, Refael brews Rails in the morning, cooks Javascript for lunch, and crunches Objective-C for dinner. Between his weekly “swim” and daily espresso (well… green tea), Refael meditates on the meaning of life in the entrepreneurial trenches.
Refael holds a B.Sc. in Software Engineering from Ben Gurion university and frequently lectures on advanced web technologies. A co-author of 4 patents, Refael brings experience from innovation groups in HP Software and in the startup scene.
