Still about meBut more technically (a.k.a Resume)

I started to code in my high-school youth. From then I'm learning new things and doing some cool shit.

My friends and I founded the very first dev community around Google products which later became an official Google Developers Group in Georgia - GDG Tbilisi.

After several years we founded uniHack and organized hackathons for students. We became partners with MLH and several other awesome organizations.

I'm also very proud to be a member of Node.js Foundation and a contributor of open-source world.
