He specializes in POS, fiscalization, device firmware and integrations, with proven product results—large deployments of product marking, a high-throughput fiscal core, and cross-platform cashier and monitoring systems that cut errors, downtime and rollout time significantly. Technically versatile, he combines C++ (including C++11/17 and actor frameworks), Android, Electron, Scala backend work and hardware drivers to own both firmware and cloud/services stacks. Based in Yerevan, he frequently drives performance and reliability gains (e.g., 70% faster fiscal processing, 50% less downtime) and is currently delivering a Visa-certified merchant system under NDA. His background in academia and language interpretation informs clear technical leadership and cross-border product delivery in RU/EN. He favors pragmatic architectures that prioritize data preservation and operational observability in constrained retail and embedded environments.
