Gal Wiernik

Founder & engineer. Algorithms and systems.

Tel Aviv, Israel

I come from a national security background, leading multiple R&D teams (ranking Major). I completed a B.Sc. in CS & Mathematics in only two years as part of the “Arazim” academic reserve excellence program (summa cum laude), and an M.Sc. in CS with published research in fast matrix multiplication and high-performance computing. I’m also a MEET alumnus.

I cofounded Edwin and Genie, acting as CTO. These days I’m drawn to deep, algorithmically hard problems and to building products with craft at the intersection of low-level systems and AI.

Also: KLA Excellence Award (2024) and School of Mathematics Excellence Award (2017) recipient, an IDF “100 Club” certificate-of-excellence honoree, and an “Extraordinary Students in CS” graduate.
