Hagop Jamkojian is a senior full-stack engineer based in Amsterdam with nine years of experience building large-scale web applications and backend systems, currently at Uber. He specializes in Java, JavaScript/TypeScript and frameworks like Spring Boot and Node.js, and routinely ships production-ready APIs and resilient services underpinned by MySQL and MongoDB. As co-founder of a scheduling startup he architected the backend, led hiring and mentored engineers—bringing both hands-on coding and product-minded leadership. His open-source work includes a Node/Express boilerplate that codifies production practices (ESLint, Winston logging, auth flows, validation) reflecting his focus on developer ergonomics and secure defaults. He also has a strong academic and research background in educational tech and computer vision, having built collaborative learning apps and image annotation tools. Colleagues describe him as a self-motivated problem solver who enjoys diving into system architecture while continuously expanding his skillset.
