Experience

Bank of Georgia | Mobile Banking

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bog-mbank-mobile-banking/id1159368231
mBank is a mobile banking application with over one million users. I developed products, payments, push notifications, feedback, pension funds, and more. Most of my work involved refactoring old legacy modules and developing new flows from scratch.

Space | Digital Banking

Space is an international mobile banking application available in Georgia and Uzbekistan. With more than a combined million downloads, it's one of the most popular applications in both countries. I developed core products from the ground up, including term deposits, regular deposits, money transfer flow, and many more.

Insurance App

An insurance application that I developed from scratch for one of the insurance companies in Georgia. The app helps users avoid long and tedious tasks that are usually present when dealing with insurance companies in person. I was involved in the application development process, from creating a blank project to publishing the app on the App Store.

Office Experience App

The flexible workplace experience app developed by a US-based real estate giant is designed to help employers create ideal workplaces for their employees and manage their offices from an app. Services include a map called Wayfinding, service requests, space booking, food and drinks, and many more. I analyzed, maintained, and improved the codebase.
