Software engineer & technical lead — client delivery since 2019.
I ship whole products — schema to pixels — and put a human gate on everything autonomous.

One body of work — a startup, pipelines, apps, prototypes — and six ways of reading it. The lens you're holding changes the notes in the margins, never the work itself.
01 · Full-stack — Whole products — schema to pixels, shipped end to end.
No published projects yet — the shelf is stocked from the admin panel, not from code.
The practice
Six lenses, one habit.
I'm Tornike — a software engineer in Tbilisi working across web, mobile, automation, security, and AI. I studied software development at IT Step Academy from 2016 to 2018 and have delivered freelance client work since 2019. Today I lead a four-person product team as lead developer and partner at AI Academy, and build Shansi as lead engineer in a product partnership.
The habit underneath is the same everywhere: type the state, log what happened, gate the side effects, and make the interface tell the truth. The lens changes; the discipline doesn't.

Proof
Don't take my word for any of it.
This site audits itself — a real Lighthouse pass via Google PageSpeed, run live while you watch, no cherry-picked screenshots. Its traffic numbers are public too. Paste your own URL if you'd rather audit that.
Design iteration
The orb, three times.
The centerpiece of a React Native voice assistant, redesigned until it felt alive — an organic blob, a wireframe sphere projected by hand, then the plasma ribbon that shipped on @shopify/react-native-skia. All three run live here, re-created in canvas.
Contact
Say the word.
Hiring for a remote role, a product that needs a technical lead, a system that needs an adversarial read — or just a question about how something on this site works.
