He is an Israeli technology founder and independent R&D specialist focused on embedded systems, electro optics, imaging, computer vision, system integration and rapid prototyping. His work combines optical and camera systems, embedded computing, instrumentation, machine vision and hands on development of working hardware.
Founder & Deep-Tech Work
In 2015, Elad founded Agrowatcher , a precision agriculture R&D project built around multispectral imaging, computer vision and machine learning. The system was developed to identify plant stress, pests and disease from optical data and enable automated, plant-level monitoring and treatment.
That work later evolved into ScoutX , which Elad co-founded in 2021. ScoutX carried the same core technical direction into a dedicated company, using AI driven analysis and smart optical sensing for early detection of stress and disease in vineyards.
ScoutX was selected for Incubit Ventures , the technological incubator of Elbit Systems, operating under the Israel Innovation Authority technological incubators program. ScoutX joined during the final intake of Incubit's original incubator program. Incubit's model combined early-stage deep-tech investment with Israel Innovation Authority R&D support, Elbit Systems technical expertise, laboratory infrastructure, business development and commercialization support.
Independent R&D
Alongside startup development, Elad has documented more than a decade of practical engineering work across embedded imaging, electro optics, cameras, instrumentation, sensors, UAV systems, measurement, electronics repair and custom hardware interfaces. The emphasis is on working prototypes, direct measurement, experimentation and reproducible technical documentation.
Selected work
Active Multispectral Imaging — a Raspberry Pi controlled imaging platform combining a monochrome industrial camera with multi-band illumination for repeatable spectral image capture.
Life Fitness / ICG IC6 I²C Interface — a documented hardware and protocol interface for integrating the IC6 indoor bike with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Jetson and other custom controllers.
Raspberry Pi Multi-Camera System — a six-camera embedded imaging system using cascaded camera multiplexers and custom GPIO control.
Schlieren on a Stick — a compact schlieren imaging system for visualizing density gradients in air using a spherical mirror and smartphone camera.
