Armen Mshetsyan — Fractional CTO & Software Engineering Leader
Hi, I'm Armen Mshetsyan

Software engineering leader & CTO.

I build engineering teams and ship software. Over 15+ years I've gone from hands-on full-stack development to leading a technology company: scaling Flux Technologies from 1 to 70 engineers and directing delivery of 50+ products across e-commerce, SaaS, AI agents, large-scale analytics, and healthcare.

Services

Ways I work with founders and product teams.

Fractional CTO
Ongoing technical leadership for products that need a CTO without the full-time hire: strategy, roadmap, and engineering accountability.
Solution Architecture
System design for new products and high-load platforms, from stack selection to data models and scaling strategy.
Engineering Team Setup
Hiring, structure, and process: from the first engineer to a full team, built on experience scaling from 1 to 70.
Platform Technical Audit
Review of architecture, code, and infrastructure with a clear, prioritized action plan.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Audit and reduction of cloud spend without sacrificing reliability; cut costs by 80% on a 70M req/day product.
AI Integration
AI agents and MCP integrations (Claude, GPT, Gemini) designed and shipped into production products.
