{"about":"Ten years of owning delivery from raw code to production. I've led performance upgrades, built data pipelines, and replaced manual toil with automation. My definition of reliability: nobody gets paged. I invest in monitoring, tests, and boring, predictable deployments. The best production fire is the one that never starts.\n\nI ask \"why\" before I build, so the team doesn't burn weeks on the wrong feature. Years of working directly with enterprise clients means I can sit in a stakeholder meeting and translate effectively in both directions. Pragmatic about scope, strict about the code and architecture that have to last.\n\nI leverage AI agents and custom automation to eliminate toil, allowing engineering teams to ship faster without the burnout. The systems do the heavy lifting; people get the interesting problems.\n\n- Thorough, constructive code reviews - I leave PRs better than I found them.\n- Documentation by default - no bus-factor-of-one systems.\n- Active mentorship - my win condition is the whole team leveling up.\n- Low drama, high ownership.","available":true,"description":"Machine-readable profile of David Aghayan for AI agents and integrations.","experience":[{"title":"Senior Backend Engineer - AI/ML Platform","company":"RAD Intel - RAD Technologies, Inc.
