Samvel Avagyan
@samvelavagyan
AI Engineer at Samwell.dev building measured AI products, including DirectiveForge and a production-ready headless commerce platform.
ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
At Samwell.dev, I own client delivery for Teach For Armenia, Armenia Education Initiative, and an AI startup. I delivered Teach For Armenia’s English/Armenian website and built its production donation platform solo, then built Armenia Education Initiative’s pages and application wizard.
I also create and ship AI products. DirectiveForge generates project-specific rules, skills, agents, MCP configuration, and memory from a codebase; its published results include a skill activation improvement from 0.33 to 0.83 across 30 trials per condition. I built a headless commerce platform with Medusa v2, Next.js 16, and Sanity, and reduced model token spend by 45% in one month through orchestration work on Dr.Acula.
