I find the problems worth solving.
Then I stay until they’re solved.
Most companies don’t need more AI tools. They need someone who sees where the business is stuck, decides where AI genuinely helps, and makes sure what gets built works and stays secure. With the SmartClick AI team behind me, I take it from diagnosis to delivery.

02 · Why my judgment holds up
I’ve sat on every side of the table.
Most advisors have seen AI from one seat. I have built it, shipped it, funded it and judged it, so I know what each side will ask before they ask it.
Founder
I build companies.
Founder and CEO of SmartClick AI since 2018. Founder of ViralMango, an AI-driven influencer-marketing platform, and of Qloong, a startup roasting program where founders get honest feedback from industry experts.
Builder
I ship AI that works.
Computer vision for industrial inspection and manufacturing lines, predictive models for banks and telecom operators, and now the security of AI systems, delivered with SmartClick AI’s in-house engineers and security specialists.
Investor
I back founders.
Personally invested in more than 70 startups, and in many more through Formula VC and SmartGate VC, where I am a partner. Angel investor with BANA Angels, STAN and AICA.
Evaluator
I judge what holds up.
Evaluator, selection committee member and mentor in programs of Armenia’s Ministry of High-Tech Industry since 2020, and international expert evaluator for Uzbekistan’s President Tech Award.
