I am a builder at heart, driven by a full-ownership mentality that bridges the gap between complex system design and tangible product value. I specialize in taking distributed platforms from initial concept through to scalable production, focusing on reliable, fault-tolerant architectures that solve intricate business logic. Rather than just writing code, I provide technical direction, infrastructure strategies, and architectural foresight that ensure systems remain resilient and maintainable as they scale.
Beyond software architecture, my passion for optimization and engineering carries over into my everyday life in Yerevan. I enjoy hands-on tinkering, whether that means dialing in the perfect extraction on my De'Longhi espresso machine, designing functional print-in-place 3D models, or modifying RC cars into long-range FPV vehicles using Raspberry Pi modules.
