Chief Technology Officer at Sweet Security

Tel Aviv District, Israel

Overview

Tomer Filiba is the Chief Technology Officer at Sweet Security, specializing in low-level development, OS-internals, and networking. A former co-founder and alumnus of Tel Aviv University, he has a history of tackling complex technical challenges, including developing proprietary network stacks. Colleagues have described him as a "top-of-the-line technologist" with outstanding skills.

While his recent focus is heavily professional, a decade-old blog post reveals a desire for a balanced life, expressing interest in reading aimlessly on various topics, writing, and having time for family and personal errands beyond a typical work week.

He led the creation of CandyStore, an open-source, high-performance key-value store in Rust, built because existing solutions were insufficient for his teams needs.
