What I’m building.

Founder ventures, with products you can explore.

GamIA’s public Georgian-language browser game collection

Georgian-language games

AI IA Labs / GamIA

AI IA Labs is the company behind GamIA, a free browser-games platform for Georgian-speaking children and teenagers.

I lead AI IA Labs / GamIA and am responsible for the whole architecture.

How it is built

  • React, TypeScript and Vite power the browser games, served through Firebase Hosting.
  • Supabase stores game and challenge state; edge functions validate requests and game results.
  • AI Explain calls Gemini 2.5 Flash through a server-side function with caching, rate limits and response validation.
  • Playwright and Vitest cover user flows and application logic.
  • I lead the project and am responsible for the whole architecture.

Mzia voice architecture: Twilio, Node.js relay, Gemini Live and Supabase

AI voice receptionist

Mzia

Voice reception for small businesses in Georgia, with Georgian, Armenian, Russian and English conversations.

I lead Mzia and am responsible for the whole architecture.

How it is built

  • A Node.js, Express and WebSocket relay connects Twilio Media Streams to Gemini 3.1 Flash Live.
  • The relay converts telephony audio and manages speech, interruptions and session recovery.
  • Supabase / PostgreSQL supports call metadata; a separate browser voice demo shares the voice engine.
  • Prompt checks, regression tests and live-model probes evaluate the voice path.
  • I lead the project and am responsible for the whole architecture.

Work with me.

Start with one problem and a clear deliverable.

AI products & business automation

A new product idea, a disconnected workflow, or too much repetitive work.

A scoped AI prototype, product feature, internal tool or connected workflow. We agree what it needs to do, how to test it and what you need at handover.

From brief to handover

We define the problem and deliverable, review a working prototype or creative direction, then refine, verify and hand over. Scope, formats and revision rounds are agreed before the work starts.

A little about me

Tbilisi, Georgia

I’m a founder who cares about how a product works, and how it feels to use.

I’m based in Tbilisi, building Mzia and AI IA Labs with a background in automation and software quality at Pango and Digital Area. That experience shapes my work: define the useful behaviour, test the difficult cases, and make the handover clear. Films and visual content are another way I help a product communicate.
