Currently, I serve as a Senior HR Consultant at IPIX in New York, providing strategic HR guidance in areas such as Talent Acquisition, Performance Management, and Organizational Development. Previously, I worked at Renderforest in Armenia as an HR Business Partner and Team Lead, where I aligned HR initiatives with business goals and managed recruitment processes. I also have experience as an HR Manager, having established the HR framework from scratch, covering all HR functions. My academic background includes a PhD in Psychology from Universität Salzburg, Austria, and both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Yerevan State University, Armenia. Fluent in Armenian, English, and Russian, with upper-intermediate proficiency in German, I bring a multicultural perspective and comprehensive HR expertise to any organization.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with.

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly.”
