About Me

Hi, my name is Hakob! I'm a software engineer with a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego. I specialize in full-stack development and my skills span across a variety of frameworks and tools. I enjoy solving complex problems and using my creativity. Whether it's designing and building engaging web apps or working with large datasets, I'm always excited to explore new challenges and continue learning.

Currently, I'm working at Nidec - Motion Control Engineering, where I've designed and developed applications for elevator systems, including monitoring software and a drag-and-drop application to customize elevator dispatching screens.

Outside of work, I enjoy diving into personal software projects, playing basketball, traveling, and playing video games.
