Transitioning from Art to Data

Gilad Grinberg started his career working as an artist. More recently, he has become a talented programmer. He has often reflected on how his two career paths, while seemingly very different, converge and appeal to similar personal motivators. . 

Grinberg began learning to program so that he would be able to create both visual and interactive art. Some of his programming has also ended up being used for electronics and games. 

As his work progressed, his interest in programming deepened. He moved away from being interested in coding as a tool to accomplish other projects and learned to admire it as an individual skill set. He finds beauty in the code, and in the things it can produce. Grinberg has transitioned from visual-oriented programming and frontend to backend coding. He has become proficient in a number of programming languages like Java, C#, Arduino and more, as well as theories and tools.

The combination of his programming and art skills have brought forth an amazing and unusual career journey.
