Aleksandr Manukyan
Profile
I’m a software engineering leader with deep experience in building scalable, reliable, and well-crafted systems. I specialize in full-stack development, architecture design, and leading teams toward technical excellence and meaningful results.
My focus is on creating software that solves real problems — efficiently and elegantly. I combine a strong technical foundation in PHP, Laravel, Vue/React (Inertia.js) and cloud infrastructure with a pragmatic approach to product delivery, ensuring every decision serves both users and business goals.
I’m passionate about mentoring engineers, fostering collaboration, and building cultures where people grow and take pride in their work. What sets me apart is the ability to balance vision with execution — connecting strategy, technology, and teamwork to deliver products that truly make an impact.
