Hi, my name is
Gal Moussan.
I build things for the web.
I'm a fullstack developer and tech lead with a background in military leadership, specializing in building CRM systems and web applications. Currently, I'm leading development at Lagoonads.
About Me
Hello! My name is Gal and I'm a fullstack developer and tech lead based in Tel Aviv. With a background in military leadership as an officer and company commander in the Israeli Air Force, I bring strong strategic thinking and team management skills to every project I work on.
I've had the privilege of working across startups in Israel and Australia, from affiliate marketing platforms to CRM systems to QA automation. My main focus these days is leading the development of an affiliate marketing CRM system at Lagoonads.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about surfing, extreme sports, traveling, and volunteering — I've been teaching youth at risk how to surf with My Wave since 2020.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- JavaScript (ES6+)
- TypeScript
- React
- Next.js
- Node.js
- Python
- Tailwind CSS
- AI/LLM APIs
- Firebase
- Angular
- Playwright
