Langchain

Owned AI SDLC configuration company-wide - integrated agentic coding tools into engineering workflows to raise team velocity and delivery quality, delivering with Claude Code and supporting the company's Anthropic partnership.

• One of the main drivers of the company's spec-driven development ecosystem, built on AWOS - Provectus's open-source Agentic Workflow Operating System. Authored /awos:flow, which generates a project-specific delivery pipeline covering toolchain detection, local review before CI spend, concurrent remote gates, ticket-state lifecycle and post-merge activities. Ran internal demos to grow adoption.

• Rewrote the ai-readiness-audit plugin: the previous implementation was entirely LLM-driven and returned a different score on every run against the same codebase; the rewrite made it idempotent and configurable, so an audit became a reproducible measurement teams could act on.

• Reviewed every change across the AWOS ecosystem other than my own - shaping its conventions, review tone, delivery flow and technical direction.

• Maintained AWOS Recruitment, Provectus's internal skills/agents registry, contributing code review and testing skills/commands into it.

• Designed backend services, ML tasks, Azure infrastructure and inter-component contracts for an AI-driven ERP/document verification application for an enterprise accounting client.

• Fixed chronic code-quality problems for an AI application team at a compliance attestation company (ISO, HIPAA) by introducing AI SDLC practices.

• Enhanced an internal AI-powered Slack bot on AWS by redesigning conversation and transcription flows.

• Conducted technical interviews, primarily for Solution Architect roles.

Projects

AM Budget View
Python

YouTube API
I18n
Golang
GitHub Actions
A desktop application designed to help users monitor their financial health and plan budgets effectively without extra costs and big effort. Mostly for Armenians banks with closed API-s. Written in Golang, this project marks my first full-scale publication, accompanied by a comprehensive video tutorial and advanced CI setup that automatically builds binaries for major operating systems. Responsibilities: - Conceptualization and implementation of the application. - Designing and implementing extended set of features which is constantly growing. - Implementing all DevOps tasks, including crafting CI/CD workflows and releases. - Created and produced a multilingual video tutorial, demonstrating tool functionality and providing localization for three languages. - Ongoing maintenance and support.

LLM
Agentic frameworks
Open-source tool that compiles coding-agent sessions into a redacted, searchable static wiki with a topic graph, a candidate-review gate and an MCP server. Took the project over in June 2026 and have been its maintainer and sole active committer since, shipping v1.4 and v1.5. Responsibilities: - Lead the project: roadmap, releases, contribution process, issue triage and the public documentation site. - Removed the bundled HTTP server as a breaking change, reworking the product and its browser test suite to run from file:// - so a built wiki is plain files with no runtime. - Built the synthesis layer that harvests entity/concept candidates from transcripts and gates them behind explicit human review before they enter the knowledge base. - Shipped multi-channel distribution: PyPI package, Docker image, Homebrew tap, Nix flake, a GitHub Action, and Obsidian/VS Code integrations. - Wrote transcript adapters for multiple agent formats and covered them with tests. - Set up CI with link checking, wiki consistency checks and Playwright end-to-end suites.
