Shant Issa

Tech Lead & Senior Product Engineer

Yerevan, Armenia

I lead engineering on education products used by hundreds of thousands of students: the web platforms, the mobile apps, the APIs, and the AI pipelines that fill them with content. Seven years in, from intern to tech lead, mostly on teams small enough that the person who designs the system also ships it.
