About
I’m Ani Grigoryan, a senior software engineer with 13+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling backend systems, distributed applications, and APIs. I work primarily with Node.js (NestJS/Express) and PHP (Laravel/Symfony/Yii), and I’ve led architecture and delivery across high-load, production-grade services using patterns like DDD, CQRS, and event-driven architecture.
I also have hands-on experience integrating AI/LLMs into real products, including OpenAI GPT and Amazon Bedrock, with practical support for AI-assisted search, reporting, and insights. I enjoy mentoring engineers, driving improvements from architecture through testing and CI/CD, and working across services, messaging, caching, and observability—always aiming for reliable, maintainable systems.
