I build and evaluate Armenian-language LLMs, AI agents, and production ML systems.
ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
At Metric, I continued pretraining Llama 3.2 on Armenian, benchmarked Gemma on ArmBench, and fine-tuned Qwen3 for Armenian instruction following. I also built and shipped a secure Text-to-SQL agent for a 157-table PostgreSQL database.
I compare practical alternatives on the same data, from vending-machine forecasting to AI research agents and plant-disease classification. I'm completing a BSc in Radiophysics while building reproducible ML systems with measurable quality, cost, and latency trade-offs.
