Things I build outside of my engineering day-job. An AI platform, a web-design studio, this site, and whatever lives next on the bench.
01Ashoon
AI that instantly replies to your Instagram, Facebook & WhatsApp DMs — so you never miss a sale.
Ashoon is an AI customer-messaging platform that automates conversations across Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and website chat. It learns each business — products, prices, FAQs, policies — and replies like the smartest teammate, 24/7, in 30 languages. It doesn’t just chat: it takes orders, books appointments, and registers customers right from a DM, with full human handover when escalation is needed.

02Kamui
One POS to run your whole shop.
Kamui is a point-of-sale platform for independent retail, built with a co-founder and shipped in 2026. It replaces the stack of disconnected tools most shops run — POS and order management (in-store, pickup, delivery), delivery dispatch with live driver tracking, QR-based inventory, receipt and ticket printing through local printer agents, SMS and call tracking, and an AI assistant that answers questions about the business. Sold as a subscription per location.
The engineering constraint that shaped it: multi-tenant isolation enforced at the database layer with Postgres row-level security rather than in application code, plus role-based staff access, optional 2FA, audit trails, and age-restriction compliance for regulated retail. Like Ashoon, it was built end-to-end through agent-assisted development.

03Ashoon Studio
Professionally-designed websites for U.S. small service businesses.
Ashoon Studio is the web-design studio I run alongside my engineering practice. We ship clean brochure sites (3–5 pages) for salons, beauty pros, trainers, photographers, dentists, and consultants. Every site is mobile-responsive from 375px, integrates the client’s existing booking tool (Fresha · Square · Acuity · Calendly · etc.), and ships static on Cloudflare Pages so it stays fast and cheap to host.
Services
- Brochure websites (3–5 pages). Astro + Tailwind, mobile-responsive, custom domain + SSL.
- Booking integration.We wire the client’s existing booking tool — Fresha, Square, Vagaro, Booksy, Acuity, Calendly — without locking them in.
- Local SEO + reviews. Google Maps, contact form, Instagram/Facebook/Google reviews feed, basic SEO setup.
- Engineering-grade quality. Accessibility-audited and AI-augmented from day one. (about.md#leadership)

04hovakimyan.dev
The site you’re reading.
Built from scratch as a showcase of the practice. Every file in the explorer is a real route. The terminal at the bottom is fully functional — try typing help, cd /work, or schedule. The hex prism in the inspector pane (on index.tsx) is a live Three.js scene with mouse-parallax.
