Top SchoolKaren Sarkisyan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Belgrade with a decade of professional experience building modern web applications, primarily in JavaScript with some Rust. At EPAM she has progressed from Software Engineer to Senior, contributing notably to front-end projects like the open-source molecule sketcher Ketcher where she refactored UI tooling into TypeScript classes and improved UX details such as zoom controls, layout, and iconography.

Colleagues might notice her dry sense of humor—aptly summarized on GitHub as "I'm watching your repo"—which reflects an attentive, collaborative reviewer mindset.
