• I was born in Moscow in 1991. I went to Moscow's Lyceum Nº1511 with an in-depth study of physics and mathematics. In my school years, I played chess on a professional junior level and won multiple tournaments, including the rapid chess championship of Russia among juniors under 12 years.
• From 2007-2012, I studied at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute and graduated with a Diploma in Automated Data Processing and Management Systems.
• From 2008-2012, I was the layout designer and photographer of the monthly official newspaper of the Russian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
• In 2012, I started my career in IT as an Implementation Specialist at Diasoft (Moscow), the leading developer of banking software in Russia. I received a promotion to Senior Specialist and later advanced to a Leading Specialist position. In 2014, I received the 'Best Employee' award at Diasoft. In 2015, I was also working as an IT analyst at Diasoft. I left Diasoft at the end of 2015 to start my graduate studies in the USA.
• In 2016, I started my graduate studies at Clarkson University, NY, USA. I received my MS degree in Computer Science in 2018.
• From 2016-2018, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for Computer Science courses, such as C++ programming, Computer Networking and Operating Systems.
• From 2018 June to December, I was a Software Engineer Intern at Cisco Systems in Research Triangle Park, NC.
• In 2019, I continued my graduate studies, pursuing PhD degree at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY.
• From 2019 January to May, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for the Computer Algorithms course at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
• From 2019-2020, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
• From 2020 May to August, I taught the CSCI-651 course ("Foundations of Computer Networks") at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
• In August 2020, I defended my PhD dissertation at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
• Starting in August 2020, I joined Alfred University as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. At Alfred University, I teach computer science courses such as Computer Science I and II, Algorithm Design, Database Systems, and Computer Networking. I continue my research in Computer Networking and other areas.
