I’m Nir Tamir

I started programming at 16 and finished a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics at Bar-Ilan University at 19, through a program for gifted youth. Then I served as a software developer in the Israeli Air Force's Ofek unit.

For the last decade I've built web products. At four startups I was the first or only frontend engineer: Cycode (from seed to Series B), Youleap, Peaklight and Genie Labs. I like starting from an empty repo, owning the whole frontend, and going full-stack in TypeScript when the product needs it.

These days I work agent-first. I run several coding agents in parallel and use strict lint rules and end-to-end tests to keep their output at the standard I'd expect from a teammate. That's how I built Hadeshe on my own: an app for our weekly soccer game that runs on the web, phones and smartwatches.

I maintain open-source tools, including six ESLint plugins. eslint-plugin-sort-export-all gets over 100K downloads a month and is used by the AWS SDK for JavaScript. I also speak at JavaScript Israel, ReactNext and NodeTLV.

I live in Holon and have worked remotely since 2022. I'm open to founding and product engineering roles at AI companies. Here's my CV .
