Overview

Biography

Born in Zovuni, a small suburb of Yerevan to an Armenian waitress for a mother and a well-off-hedge-fund-grown Armenian-Puerto Rican for a father, straight from birth Mariyano had to learn how to get through life making the least amount of trouble. In his earlier years, his father was barred from living in Armenia due to a ban on dual citizenship, and not wanting to give up his own home, an arrangement was made where every two years Mariyano would transfer between Armenia and Puerto Rico.

In Armenia, he lived in a run-down apartment building with his mother, and would spend his time learning the streets of Yerevan and exploring the very-limited amount of forests and wilderness areas of the city.

In Puerto Rico, he lived in a gated community where he would get stares for his accent when speaking English. While his father truly loved him, he despised living in a gated community with people who couldn’t trill their Rs, yet gave him stares for saying “Բարև մայրիկ, ծերերը նորից ինձ են նայում։ Ինչպես ես?”. Almost routinely, he would lie and spend time in the poorer areas of Bayamón on weekends, with kids like him who had accents but just didn’t care. They would make a game out of it, seeing how heavy they could make their accent while others tried to decipher. On the weekdays, he would drag his father to hike in the tropical rainforests of Puerto Rico.

When he was twelve, Armenia legalised dual citizenship, so, now not having to risk citizenship, Mariyano, his mother, and his father, all moved to Ponce, Puerto Rico, where he started attending Ponce High School, where he graduated a year early in twenty-twelve.

He applied to what felt like hundreds of colleges, and much to his surprise and pleasure, was accepted into the Stanford University Department of Humanities and Sciences where he threw himself into his studies, next thing he knew he was graduating two years early, and applying for his Masters. When he was accepted, he decided to allow himself free time, and completed his masters in the normal timeframe of two years, with a degree in Applied Biochemistry and Geology. He got his first internship at HelixBio, a startup firm in the Bay Area which promoted him to a Chemical Analyst a few months before he graduated. When he found a job in Yerevan, he jumped at the opportunity and left HelixBio for yet another start-up, ArmGENE.

After working for ArmGENE for a year, a fellow Armenian acquaintance from Stanford offered Mariyano a position in yet another startup, this time going against the grain by being a Geological Research Company. When Mariyano’s friend told him he would have to go into the mountains for it, his resignation letter wrote itself.

Personality

Mariyano is a hard working and witty person. He spent nearly his entire life bouncing from place to place not having a feeling of permanence, so making your own fun was kind of a necessity. He learned that anger and vitriol won’t get him anywhere…in most cases. Sometimes callousness can make people [REDACTED] off. He knows how to get things that he wants without even saying its name. That might make him sound like an ass, which he can be at times, but he understands when to be an ass, and who to be an ass with.

He has a guilty pleasure with rules, almost. He likes working within the confines of borders set up. He feels that it brings out the creativity within him. His position within the Research and Experimentation division feels almost perfect for him, he feels that it’s quite literally his job to creatively deal with creative anomalies. He loves his job, even if he has to worry about 4205. And 096. And 4666. And 173. And 106.

And yet, he can be insecure at times. He has nothing to be insecure about, his entire life he’s exceeded expectations, and yet he worries that he’s not good enough. He graduated top of his class, early, in both High School and Undergrad. But yet, he feels like he doesn’t know what he’s doing half the time. Through all his internships, his entire career and schooling he got raving reviews, and yet, the feeling of inadequacy nags at his cerebellum. He’s never felt in place. Whether that be in his nation, his town, a school, he’s always felt wrong. Even in the work he throws himself in, nearly all of them were start-ups with shaky foundations at best, that if it had to many bad days in a row, would be gone by week’s end. Mariyano has never had security, and that’s something he himself can recognise. And it’s something that he himself refuses to interfere with his work.
