Hi, my name is

Otar Matchavariani

Full-stack Developer

I build modern, high-performance web applications with a focus on clean architecture and pixel-perfect UIs. Always learning, always shipping.

About

I'm a developer who likes taking a problem apart and building something that actually works. Over the past 4+ years I've worked mostly on web apps: quick to load, comfortable on any screen, and simple to use. I pick up new tools when they make the work better, not because they're new.
