Mamikon Arakelyan — Senior Software Engineer, Yerevan
Software that survives production.
Full-stack web developer, 8+ years across PHP and Go — from legacy rescue to technical direction. Currently Senior Software Engineer at UCRAFT.
01 / Philosophy
Engineering as structure.
Eight years across six companies teaches one lesson: software is a structure. It stands or falls on the parts nobody demos — the schema, the interfaces, the failure modes you planned for before they happened.
I work the full stack because the stack is one system. A PHP monolith and a Go service fail differently, but they fail for the same reasons: unclear ownership, untested assumptions, shortcuts taken under deadline. My job is to remove those reasons.

Colleagues, on the record.
REF — 01“Mamikon took over a codebase nobody wanted to touch and made it boring — predictable deploys, clean interfaces, no surprises. That is the highest compliment I can give an engineer.”
REF — 02“He is the engineer you hand the ambiguous problem to. Requirements half-written, deadline fixed — he comes back with a plan, a migration path, and working software.”
REF — 03“Eight years in, Mamikon still reviews code like it's his first month — carefully, and with reasons. Our team's bus factor and our uptime both improved when he joined.”
