What I'm looking for

I'm interested in building scalable Agentic AI and intelligent automation systems that integrate LLMs, APIs, databases, and enterprise workflows.

At CONVERSE BANK, I develop and optimize SQL queries, stored procedures, and scripts for financial datasets and business applications. I also automate financial reporting workflows and maintain database performance in a secure production environment.

I developed an Armenian banking voice assistant for questions about credits, deposits, and branch information. Its RAG pipeline uses FAISS semantic search and multilingual embeddings, with Gemini 2.5 Flash for response generation and LiveKit, Whisper, and OpenAI TTS for speech-to-speech interactions.

For my thesis, Optimizing LLM Inference with vLLM and LMCache, I evaluated inference systems through controlled experiments measuring latency, throughput, and GPU memory consumption. I also developed a LangGraph multi-agent research system that gathers, analyzes, validates, and synthesizes information into structured reports.
