Irakli is a senior Python engineer with around 9 years of professional experience, coming from a strong engineering background. He started his career as an electronics service engineer, moved into embedded systems development (C, firmware), and later transitioned fully into Python-based software development, where he has built and maintained both backend and full-stack systems. His first major Python role was at a startup (Person Engineering), where he acted as a technical lead, managing a small team and developing an end-to-end hardware–software ecosystem, including backend services and web applications. He later joined Soft QX (2019), working on Python-based CRM solutions using Odoo, focusing on integrations and APIs. From 2022 to 2024, Irakli worked at Making Science as a Backend Python Developer, later transitioning into a Full-Stack role due to team needs. There, he was responsible for the entire codebase of a feed management platform, including backend (Flask / FastAPI), frontend (React), and CI/CD. He also led the migration of a monolithic application into a microservices architecture on Google Cloud Platform, designed CI/CD pipelines, and worked extensively with Docker, PostgreSQL (Cloud SQL), and Firestore. Irakli has hands-on experience with GCP (3–4 years) and a solid understanding of cloud-based architectures. His exposure to AWS is theoretical. He has some experience with data pipelines and BigQuery, though data engineering is not his core specialization. His DevOps experience includes CI/CD ownership and Docker-based workflows; he has limited exposure to Kubernetes. His machine learning experience is minimal and limited to hobby projects using TensorFlow and PyTorch. Currently, Irakli is a founder of a small engineering company, where he handles only occasional maintenance work. He confirmed that he will be fully committed to this role, can transfer ongoing responsibilities to colleagues, and has a notice period of up to one month.
