Top SchoolDavid Barbakadze is a seasoned full stack developer with 15+ years of hands-on experience spanning DevOps, backend systems and modern JavaScript front-ends. He now operates as a freelance Full Stack Developer focused on Node.js and React, with a track record of building scalable features and critical workflows for companies from Reddit and Cruise to healthcare and pharma. His background includes low-level ops and scripting in Perl/bash, large-scale migrations (MongoDB→MySQL), vector-tile geospatial systems, and orchestration of CI/CD pipelines—skills that let him bridge infrastructure and product needs. David has designed approvable action workflows, custom notification systems, and an AI assistant for coaches leveraging ChatGPT with full data context, showing a pragmatic approach to integrating AI into production. He’s comfortable consolidating monorepos, implementing saga-pattern microservices and optimizing observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana), which makes him effective on both greenfield and legacy systems. Based in Georgia, he pairs extensive technical breadth with a history of writing and teaching, so he often contributes documentation and knowledge-sharing alongside code.
