Frontend Engineer — Yerevan, Armenia

ArsenMelqonyan

I build React and TypeScript consoles for payment and ticketing platforms, from data model to release.

01 — About

Building systems
that scale

Frontend engineer at PandaTech, building admin consoles for fintech products: condominium payments used by nearly every condominium in Yerevan, a payment network of 4,200+ terminals, and in-app event ticketing.

I own features end to end, from data model to release: payment and KYC workflows, role-based access and two-factor sign-in, and the shared components behind them. I mentor developers, review code and run most releases for two products.

Where I've built

PandaTechYerevan, Armenia — Frontend Engineer
Feb 2023 — Present
  • Main frontend engineer on two fintech admin consoles (condominium payments, event ticketing) and core engineer on a third for a payment-terminal network; also worked on a Next.js 16 marketing site (App Router, PWA)
  • Designed a drag-and-drop editor (dnd-kit, reducer-based state) that lets operators link, reorder and publish each terminal's payment menu
  • Built payment and sales workflows end to end: debts, transactions, chargebacks, commission and fee rules, KYC review, event schedules, promo codes and PDF tickets
  • Built account security and role-based access control (RBAC): two-factor sign-in by authenticator or SMS, device and session management, roles and permissions, and the audit trail
  • Co-developed the shared data grid behind 69 screens, plus shared picture-upload and rich-text editor components
  • Made open tabs recover automatically after a deploy instead of breaking on missing chunks; tuned RTK Query caching and added pull-request CI with Docker build checks
  • Mentored two developers, one now the main developer of a v2 rewrite; run most releases for two products (430+ QA and production promotions since 2024) and do code reviews for the team
