Tomer has a deep understanding of software development as he started his IT career as a developer, gaining 3 years of development experience using Java (J2EE), ColdFusion, ASP, Visual Basic, JavaScript and SQL. He then invested about 2 years as a Business / Systems Analyst where he took lead roles in mentoring colleagues in RUP, UML, OOAD and Design Patterns. After that he spent 2 years as a Software / Solution Architect dabbling with SOA and ESB concepts and Zachman and Bredemeyer frameworks.


At that point he started the company Chaos Dimention with the goal of creating a visual standard for communicating and interacting with information using 3D at its core. Due to internal and external challenges the company has shifted from software development to providing Project Management professional services led by Tomer. Today he continues to provide Project Management services.


Tomer's personal interests are design and visualization and most recently marketing and business. He tries to merge all his knowledge and experience from the different fields into a robust project delivery methodology. His hobbies are sports (running and weights), playing piano, having coffees, driving fast, listening to latest songs, spending time with Ethan and travelling. Flying a plane and helicopter are his biggest passions.
