The Journey
Born in Armenia, moved to Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia at age 4. Grew up with a huge passion for math and understanding the universe.
Started coding with C++ and C#, building .NET desktop apps. The beginning of 10+ years of engineering.
Convinced my parents to send me to the US to continue my educational journey. Finished all high school math early, dual enrolled at Pasadena City College for Linear Algebra. Then studied at Arizona State University.
Studying AI/ML and NLP at ASU. Contributed to Game Theory AI research with my professor.
Discovered OpenAI through their Gym Soccer research and got hooked. Early beta access to GPT, one of the first users of Codex. First real experience building with AI, experimenting with automation, prototyping ideas, and turning models into usable tools.
Realized LLMs were about to change everything. Took a step back to study, going deep on data science, machine learning, and full stack fundamentals. Preparing for what was coming.
Built and scaled Loadguard: carrier vetting, onboarding, and broker TMS, growing it into a real business with real revenue.
Expanded into insurtech with QuoteCraft: modern insurance technology for agencies (AMS, Loss Run Auto, Leads Management), streamlining operations and driving revenue.
Placed Top 10 at Y Combinator hackathon with Cosmo. Pivoted into Runtools, because we wished this company existed while building our own agent.
Building Runtools: the infrastructure layer for AI agents. Pre-built tool integrations, isolated sandbox environments, and everything you need to go from idea to deployed agent in minutes, not months.
Philosophy
The point
The tools will keep changing. The craft is staying the same: think clearly, learn quickly, build end to end, and ship.
Think
First principles, systems, taste.
Build
Whatever the problem demands.
Ship
Quality, speed, reliability.
Generalist by default. Specialist on demand.
Get in Touch
Open to interesting conversations, collaborations, and building the future together.
