🐍 Senior product/backend engineer (primarily Python/Golang)
⚙️ Automations and API integrations
🤖 AI-powered development with coding agents
📍 Tbilisi, Georgia (UTC+4)
🌍 Open to English-speaking product teams
I turn concrete operational problems into focused tools that are safe to run, observable in production, and straightforward to maintain.
I enjoy product teams where engineers own outcomes, collaborate directly, and care about users as much as engineering quality.
A deployed, local-first Telegram text-to-speech service using Qwen3-TTS and Silero.
What it demonstrates: typed Python, model verification, load control, automated tests, CI, non-root GPU containers, deployment documentation, and explicit privacy boundaries.
A safety-first Go CLI for listing and bulk-rewriting personal Toggl Track data.
What it demonstrates: exact matching, complete pagination, secure credential storage, preview-before-apply workflows, and honest partial-failure reporting.
A Python and Telethon toolkit for auditable poll analysis and group cleanup.
What it demonstrates: complete-snapshot checks, live revalidation, dry runs, bounded mutations, and local audit records.
