Irakli Chkuaseli
CTO & Software Engineer
I build apps, games, and the systems behind them. Most of my work lately has been in React Native and Unity, though I'm equally at home with Node, Swift, or whatever a project needs.
Right now I'm CTO at Golden Fox and take on select projects through Toptal. Open to new engagements.
