I am a Los Angeles based software and web developer with experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the MERN stack. My interest in tech and specifically programming started in 2021 as the world was locked down due to Covid-19. I started my journey by watching a few YouTube videos and cloning basic webpages such as YouTube home page and Tesla and others.

Furthermore, my interest grew in the field, so I took and successfully completed a few online courses on LinkedIn and codecademy.com. After doing some research, I decided to enroll in MIT xPro full stack coding bootcamp. I was excited to take advantage of the learning opportunity from one of the world's top leading technology institutions and its world-class faculty.

Throughout the bootcamp, I had weekly assignments and coding challenges to solve and submit. Since my graduation from the bootcamp, I have been working on a variety of personal projects and I have been actively contributing to friends' projects.

Currently, I am highly motivated and excited to land my first-time full-time job in the tech world as a software developer.

I'm also an award-winning guitarist based in Los Angeles. Over the years, I've had the honor of performing in prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall in New York. One of the highlights was being a guest soloist with the Port Townsend Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Tigran Arakelyan, back in 2019. The Yerevan International Guitar Festival also invited me to perform in 2017.

Sharing my passion for music, I've been deeply involved as both an educator and performer in LA. Teaching group and private guitar and music lessons across various schools and music academies has been an enriching experience. Throughout the past decade, I have been the founder and the manager of my private studio with over 40 students.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Music and a master's degree from the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. Currently, I am very much looking forward to pivoting into the tech industry and continue sharing my music on the side.
