§ 01About

Briefly.

A short note on what I do, what I'm chasing, and where to find me.

I'm a backend dev based in Tbilisi. I work mostly in TypeScript and Node, with NestJS and Postgres on the production side. I finished a trainee role at Andersen at the end of 2025 and I've been splitting time between freelance projects and open-source CLIs since. The day-to-day stack you see below is what I reach for first.
