Startup Advisory

Nitzan Ohana

Helping startups build reliable systems and ship faster—drawing on 20+ years of software architecture and engineering leadership.

Nitzano

Since 2016, I've focused on infrastructure, developer experience, and clear, concise SDLC workflows — helping dozens of startups grow fast while keeping their systems and processes simple and easy to maintain.

My path here includes seven years in an elite unit of the Israeli Intelligence Corps, followed by a range of R&D roles across Israel's high-tech industry, giving me a strong bias toward precision, ownership, and moving fast without cutting corners.
