    3x founding/first engineer with 15+ years shipping products from zero to scale. Most notably: founding engineer at EverAI — joined at zero, built nearly every core feature, grew to 20M users and $5M/month revenue. Pioneered production AI pipelines across LLMs, image generation, voice synthesis, and video — not API wrappers, full systems.

    Also: first eng at Shogun (YC W16, became category-leading Shopify app), CTO at AirHelp (concept to launch in 5 months), founded and scaled a 20-person dev agency. Most recently built an ad platform at TurbaMedia from zero to $24M+ annual spend in 6 months.

    Looking for: Early-stage startup where I can own product areas and work directly with founders. I've built entire products solo — I don't need hand-holding, I need interesting problems. Fully remote.

Designed and shipped an AI classification service (DSPy + pgvector) that routes citizen requests across 16 departments and 612 service types, architected with no existing template to follow. Also own the Terraform/CI-CD layer for the platform. Currently working full remote; looking for backend/full-stack roles where I can keep owning things end-to-end rather than working a narrow slice of a large team.

    About me: Hi, I’m Giorgi — a Full-Stack Web Developer with around four years of experience in frontend development and about a year in backend and AI-related work. I’ve collaborated in various settings — from freelancing individually to working with teams in digital agencies and startups — which helped me develop strong adaptability and teamwork skills. Most of my career has focused on building and maintaining WordPress websites (custom themes, ACF, Twig, Gutenberg), but over the past two years I’ve also been involved in React/Next.js projects. Recently, I’ve taken a growing interest in backend and AI development through my work at Onconest, an AI-powered health startup, where I contribute to both backend and AI implementation. I’m passionate about clean, accessible web experiences — over the last year, I’ve led accessibility improvements for large-scale projects in a US-based digital agency. I’m always eager to learn, improve, and take on new challenges where I can deliver results and make an impact.
