About

I'm a developer who moved into DevOps engineering. I started learning web development at Mziuri, which has since grown into a major technology education institute in Georgia. During four years there, I studied several programming and markup languages before moving on to modern tools such as React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.

Currently, I'm a DevOps engineer at EPAM. Previously, I was a full-stack developer at Teqqed, a Dutch startup building an operations platform for small businesses.

I've also assisted in teaching an introductory cybersecurity course at IBSU, my university, for a couple of weeks.

In my free time, I usually play football, hang out with friends, or go to the gym. On weekends, I also enjoy hiking or camping with my friends or my dad.
