About Me
Lasha Kakashvili
T-shaped tech lead with a deep full-stack core across four stacks — Angular, React/Next.js, .NET, and Java Spring Boot — plus working breadth in DevOps, product, and education. I run a 15-person delivery team at Koober Coders, a Tbilisi software studio, where I’ve led delivery of 7+ complete client platforms across hospitality, healthcare, education, and non-profit sectors. At IT Step Academy I design programming curricula and own lecturer recruitment and teaching quality for the Programming Department.
