About me

Hello, I am Hovhannes Shitikyan

I am a senior full stack engineer with more than a decade of building web applications end to end — from the interface someone touches to the services, databases and infrastructure behind it. Day to day that means JavaScript and TypeScript with React, Next.js, Vue and Angular on the front, and Node.js, C#/.NET and Python on the back.

AI is part of how I build now, not a side experiment. I ship LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, AI agents and MCP tooling, and I write production code every day with Claude Code, Cursor and OpenAI Codex.

Right now I am Senior Full Stack Engineer at SynTecho and Full Stack Engineer at Demos Network. Before that I built the Lif3 wallet at Quantum Fintech Group for more than 200,000 users, and led a team of ten at DAO Maker on a platform that protected over $100M in user funds at 5M+ requests a day.

I am open to Senior Full Stack, Software Engineer and AI-native engineering roles. The fastest way to reach me is email or Telegram.

What I do

My Expertise

Three areas where a decade of writing, shipping and running production software compounds into results.

01/03

Full Stack Development

  • React, Next.js, Vue and Angular on the front end, with TypeScript throughout and a real eye for how an interface performs under load.
  • Node.js, C#/.NET and Python on the back end — REST, GraphQL and WebSocket APIs, and microservices that stay maintainable after launch.
  • Ten years of owning features end to end: schema, service, interface, deploy.
02/03

AI-Powered Development

  • LLM integrations, RAG pipelines and AI agents built into products people actually use — not demos.
  • Prompt engineering and MCP tooling, giving models safe, typed access to real systems and data.
  • AI-assisted engineering with Claude Code, Cursor and OpenAI Codex as part of the daily workflow.
03/03

Cloud, Data & Real-Time

  • AWS, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines that make releases boring.
  • PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis, modelled around the query patterns a product actually has.
  • Real-time systems under real traffic — sustained low latency at 5M+ requests per day.
