Message

At Finbox Armenia, I configure, maintain, and support Windows and Linux infrastructure and clusters for ATM systems, with a focus on availability, security, and performance.

At EPAM Systems, I led a system engineering team delivering automated application deployment infrastructure on Windows technology. I also developed a Java application from scratch to migrate interconnected PowerBI reports when no migration tool existed.

Across roles at Naqdina Payment Services, RebateMango, and other organizations, I worked on cloud and on-prem infrastructure design, automation, and deployment. My projects have included AWS migrations, Kubernetes deployments, and CI/CD automation.
