Hello, world! I'm a software engineer currently residing in the Bay Area working in the financial technology space. I was born and raised in Los Angeles shortly after my family immigrated from Armenia.

I pursued mathematics and physics early on and later transitioned to the theories of computing and machine learning. I studied computer science at the University of California, San Diego focusing on modern deep learning applications. Currently, I center my independent learning around computer security and the software development life-cycle, as I want to develop my own applications in the near future.

I am an avid chess player, add me on chess.com! I also love reading, specifically science fiction and positive psychology. If you'd like to get to know me better or talk about some of your work in software and machine learning, feel free to drop me an email any time.
