Sergey Hovakimyan

AI-Augmented Software Engineer · 13+ years · Glendale, California · Currently at BuildOps

Thirteen years building for the web, the last one mostly not by typing. Agents handle the implementation; I decide what should happen, check whether it did, and catch the thing that would have broken production on a Friday. Senior engineer at BuildOps on financial systems, and founder of two products built the same way.
