Hello, I'm Aram.
Hi, I'm the Senior Staff Software Engineer for Privacy & Security Compliance at The Washington Post. I previously worked on the Zeus team, helping publishers to maximize site performance and revenue. I've also worked on The Washington Postโs Ad Tech R&D and Big Data teams.
In my spare time I work on open source stuff and websites. You can find me on various online platforms & communities.
You can find out more about me, what I use, the books that I have been reading and what I am up to now.
