Available for senior contracts

Production AI and security-critical systems, built by a senior engineer.

Senior software engineer building production systems since 2005. I ship complete, production-grade AI-integrated products in days, not weeks — and bring two decades of cryptography and secure-systems experience to AI work that touches sensitive data.

About

Alex Amiryan

I have been building production systems professionally since 2005, specializing in production AI integration and security-critical systems. The work that defines me sits at the intersection of two disciplines that most teams treat as separate: applied cryptography, where the cost of a mistake is measured in compromised users, and production AI, where the cost of a mistake is a system that confidently ships the wrong answer at scale.

Recent work includes a complete AI-powered medical booking system shipped in four days, and an enterprise multimodal AI analysis platform with on-premise LLM inference, architected and built from the ground up. Earlier I founded Stingle Photos, an end-to-end encrypted backup app with 100,000+ users, recognized by Ars Technica; and led engineering for high-traffic French-market platforms serving 1.5M+ users.

I take a small number of senior contract engagements at a time, and prefer work where the technical decisions actually matter — production AI for established companies, security-sensitive architecture, or both at once. Trilingual (English, Russian, Armenian) for business communication, comfortable across EU and US time zones.

Recent Work

01 — Proprietary, security-focused enterprise client

Enterprise Multimodal AI Analysis Platform

2023–2025 Architect, ground-up build On-premise LLM inference

A production system for ingesting, indexing, and querying large-scale unstructured data — audio, text, transcripts — via natural-language LLM queries over the corpus. Architected and built from the ground up, deployed on-premise for a security-focused enterprise client with strict data-sovereignty requirements.

Designed and implemented the full pipeline end to end: ingestion, transcription, embedding, vector indexing, query orchestration, and role-based access. Inference runs entirely on local hardware via Ollama; analytics and event aggregations are split across Apache Druid and ClickHouse, with a vector store for similarity search over the embedded corpus. The system is proprietary and not publicly demonstrable.

02 — Private medical practice

AI Medical Booking System

2026 Solo build Delivered in 4 days

A production booking platform for a private medical practice, delivered end to end in four days. Patients schedule and reschedule through natural conversation in a Telegram bot, backed by Gemini for natural-language understanding; staff review and override via a full admin panel.

The build is complete: Telegram bot interface, Gemini-powered scheduling logic, full admin dashboard, complete patient records management. The four-day timeline is the part the client talks about; the part I care about is that it shipped to production with everything a real medical practice actually needs around it.

03 — Founder, open source

Stingle Photos

2018–Present Founder & CEO, Stingle Inc. 100,000+ users

Founded the company; architected and shipped an open-source, end-to-end encrypted photo backup application now serving 100,000+ users. Featured by Ars Technica.

Designed the full cryptographic protocol from first principles using libsodium — authenticated symmetric encryption, public-key cryptography, and key derivation — so that the server stores ciphertext and never holds material it can use to read user data. Cross-platform: iOS, Android, server, and infrastructure all built and operated by the founding team.
