Bar Ziony

Bar has been intrigued by computers ever since he remembers. As a teenager he built PCArena.org, a website for hardware, software and gaming enthusiasts, into an authority in its field. His period at a secret intelligence unit, we can’t mention. Nowadays, Bar is contemplating web architectures and mobile GPU optimisations.
When he’s not busy coding our next awesome feature for the world’s best photo effects app, he likes to play chess, watch and play soccer and read lengthy image processing papers.
Bnaya Peretz
Senior Developer
Bnaya is an autodidact software developer. He’s full stack, but in addition to travelling vertically around code he also goes horizontal and makes his mark more or less on all of our platforms from web to mobile and beyond. Bnaya is passionate about the internet as a technical challenge, as an unmediated global communication medium...and also as a cats worshiping platform.
When he’s not coding you’ll find him at the gym, walking about all sorts of hiking trails or attempting to wirelessly control some new gadget.

Chandler
Mascot Officer
Chandler has over 12 months of experience and is our new Chief Maskot Officer. He’s a Bichon Frise, which a mix of a Poodle and a Spaniel. In his first executive move, he's decided to add a pets effects category and promised to keep it a high priority. When he's not cuddling, you’ll find him chasing some gadget around the office or anything he can turn into a toy (he’s very creative).
