David Khachatryan — Co-Founder

I believe the best way to lead is to build. I am an engineer at heart. I used to obsess over code, but now I obsess over systems. Today, I split my time between building software for clients and sharing engineering management tips for the next generation. 💻 𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐀 𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐒 I co-founded Octa Labs to solve a specific problem. Founders need more than just "coders." They need product partners. My team and I build scalable software for startups. We bring the high standards of ServiceTitan to fast-moving startups. 📘 𝐃𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐃'𝐒 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐓 I write davidsblueprint.com for engineers who want to think like founders. Every week, I share open-source guides, management tactics, and growth experiments from our agency. 🇦🇲 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 As Chairman of the RISE Educational Foundation, I am committed to improving STEM education in Armenia. We aren't just teaching kids to code. We are building the next generation of global tech leaders. 👇 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄 ➡️ 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞: davidsblueprint.com ➡️ 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: DM me to discuss your project at Octa Labs.
