# David Nakhapetian > Senior Full Stack Software Engineer @ Elementus Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/davidnakhapetian "Coding is a superpower because you can speak to an army of robots and command them to do whatever you like." - Naval Ravikant When I first heard this phrase, I thought to myself - “Now, I can prototype all of my ideas. Code is a bridge from an idea to reality”. It’s just what I needed to start developing all of my projects, from a pathfinding visualizer to an NFT Sales Dashboard which is used by traders in the Web3 World But let me introduce myself before we go any further 😁 👋🏼  Hi everyone! My name is David Nakhapetian. 🗣️ Last name pronounced: “Don’t try to pronounce it, just say David 😂 ” 🎓 Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science (NYU) 🎒 My involvement in university projects and classes has taught me the strategies and mindset it takes to successfully develop software. I collaborated with diverse teams and created numerous applications. I challenged myself to take hard classes such as Advanced Algorithms, Databases, and Artificial Intelligence. I am currently working for a company where I’m developing a full stack MERN application and I’m loving the process of learning new technologies and understanding how separate instruments make up an orchestra. 🔮 As for my future, the goal is to become a Lead Software Engineer where I can showcase my tenacious work ethic, ability to think about long-term value and deliver results. I want to collaborate with a diverse open-minded team and invent something enthralling. 🎙️ 🍿 🧘🏻 In my free time, you can find me walking around New York City listening to podcasts: Andrew Huberman, Gary Vee, Naval Ravikant. I’m also a dedicated movie lover with Fantasy and Anime being my favorite genres. I do yoga every day and lose myself in reading Krishnamurti and Sadhguru. 🖥️ Technical Skills Include: Python, JavaScript, Flask, React, Node, Express, HTML, CSS, Docker, SQL, MySQL 💬 Recruiters, and hiring managers: message me if you have open software engineering positions and would like a copy of my resume! ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer Full Stack @ Elementus Jan 2025 – Present | New York, New York, United States ### Software Engineer Full Stack @ Elementus Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | New York, New York, United States ### Software Engineer I Full Stack @ Trepp, Inc.
