Nune Vardanyan
AI-first designer, building production-ready applications with
Claude Code.
I work at the intersection of users, business, product logic, and AI systems, translating between all four.
About
AI-first is not a buzzword for me, it's how I operate. My day starts with Claude Code: I open it before anything else, check my repo, review uncommitted changes, and push to GitLab before a single Figma file is open.
Claude is how I think through problems, prompt components into existence, iterate in the browser, and ship features in hours, not weeks.
My niche is cybersecurity, which is going through a fundamental AI transformation. I'm building at the center of that shift, embedded with engineering, shipping alongside them.
