Punch cards, anyone?
Tiran's first experience
in computers was while visiting with his father at Columbia
University during his Ph.D. studies. He enjoyed the punch card
machines and feeding hole-punch strips to the readers. Tiran was
only 6 years old at the time.
At the beginning of his senior
year in high school, Tiran's family relocated to the U.S. where he
enrolled into College based on his advanced placement courses
during high school. With a limited amount of time remaining to the
mandatory military draft he significantly accelerated his studies
and completed a B.Sc. in artificial intelligence and mathematics
within 19 months.
In the ensuing 6 years of active military
service in the Israeli Navy Tiran was responsible for the
development of real-time combat systems and an artificial
intelligence-based resource allocation scheduling system.
Tiran
spent the next 10 years in the health care industry in various
roles: business development, regulatory consulting and, ultimately,
as the founder of a successful diagnostic imaging facility network
which was bought out by W.R. Grace.
Marshalling his core
knowledge in information technology and with a creative flare for
graphic design, Tiran founded 6FootMedia and meticulously built a
cadre of satisfied customer ranging from large banks to small
businesses.
