Israel Joffe

PMI-CPMAI and AI project management

In 2026, Israel Joffe received the PMI-CPMAI, the Project Management Institute credential for managing AI initiatives. The credential reinforces a career in government project portfolio management, IT, media production, and AI-assisted publishing: technical enough to understand the moving parts, project-focused enough to ship, and practical enough to keep AI work tied to business outcomes instead of hype.

That background matters for SpanishTVShows.com because the site combines editorial judgment, structured data, AI-assisted research workflows, and a production pipeline for streaming guides, language-learning content, rankings, and long-tail discovery pages.

The SpanishTVShows.com angle

Spanish-language television is the most-watched non-English media category in the United States, and it’s genuinely good — La Casa de Papel, El Marginal, Élite, La Reina del Sur, Pasión de Gavilanes — but the English-language web has done a terrible job covering it. Most of the SEO results are either machine-translated junk or affiliate-driven streaming aggregators that don’t actually watch the shows.

Israel Joffe — born and raised in New York City and the Five Towns on Long Island, currently based in Boca Raton, Florida, and with professional experience at DFC, FDIC, FDA, Fox 5 News, ABC News, and Starwood Hotels/Marriott — built SpanishTVShows.com as a deliberate counter. Every show entry has a real synopsis, a real audience score, the actual streamer, and an honest take on whether it is worth your time if you are using TV to learn the language.
