Built Optiomo Test Manager, an internal automation runner that made it possible for QA engineers, developers, managers, and non-technical staff to run tests without local setup.
The work
behind the work.
Automation and quality engineering:
an internal platform, a runnable QA demo
and a personal workflow tool.
Automation platform
Optiomo
A shared place to run automated tests, follow a schedule and review the results.
Quality engineering
UltraApp
A runnable Python test framework for API, payment and simulated mobile flows.
Personal media workflow
Edit Room
A clearer view of the work.
A local workspace for finding, reviewing and selecting images and films.

What I’m building.
Founder ventures, with products you can explore.
Georgian-language games
AI IA Labs / GamIA
Georgian-language learning games with contextual AI explanations, server-side game checks and controlled model usage.
I lead AI IA Labs / GamIA and am responsible for the whole architecture.
Architecture & engineering
- Validate before reuse. AI Explain validates Gemini responses before caching or returning them to players.
- Control model usage. Caching, request limits and a daily token budget control repeated work and model usage.
- Keep checks on the server. Score submission checks session signatures and game-specific score ceilings on the server.
- Test the player journey. Playwright and Vitest cover player journeys and application logic.

AI voice receptionist
Mzia
A multilingual voice AI receptionist, with engineering focused on turn-taking, interruptions and the call lifecycle.
I lead Mzia and am responsible for the whole architecture.
Architecture & engineering
- Measure the voice path. Model-comparison and latency probes evaluate native speech-to-speech behaviour under the relay’s configuration.
- Own the call lifecycle. Interruption handling, bounded audio buffers and silence watchdogs manage the call lifecycle.
- Keep audio independent of storage. Call metadata writes run asynchronously, outside the real-time audio path.
- Test failure paths. Integration tests cover model disconnects, buffer overflow and hang-up races over real HTTP/WebSocket connections.

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.
Email me about a projectProduct films & visual content
A product that needs a clear demo, a stronger visual story or a set of launch assets.
A product film, interface demo or visual set, with a defined creative direction, delivery formats and revision scope.
Email me about a projectFrom 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, GeorgiaI’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.
