About
Hi, I’m Robert, a product engineer from Yerevan, Armenia.
I love building products: the craft of it, the design decisions, the small details that make something feel smooth. Most of the work is keeping things simple, which is always harder than it looks. I care a lot about getting things right, and I’m happy to iterate until they are.
I’ve been building things since I was 10 or 11, when I made my first websites with Wix. Years later I decided to make it my job and studied computer science at the American University of Armenia.
I started my career at Goya, which began as a school for software engineering. I took its course, finished as the best student in my class, and joined its new outsourcing team, building web and mobile apps for clients with React, Flutter and Node. Then I joined Softr, a no-code platform with over a million users, and spent three years on its blocks team during a redesign of every block. There I built Conditional Form and the condition engine behind it, took Comments from idea to production, and worked on every other block along the way.
Now that LLMs make writing code faster than ever, I get to spend more of my time on the bigger picture: UX, interface details and product decisions. Earlier this year I left Softr to start something of my own and co-founded Meerlume, which turns a plain description of how a business works into a chatbot for WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and the web. I built most of the product, and I’m responsible for how it looks, feels and works.
Since late September I’ve also been working on Stamplyn, a travel app where you book trips and collect a stamp from every landmark you visit. I co-founded it and lead product, design and engineering on a team of four.
