What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote, global senior individual contributor Solutions Architect role where I can own complex technical problems end to end. I’m based in Tbilisi and comfortable working across EU working hours.

At Setanta Sports, I designed architecture for Aviator Studio and Setanta Bet, and led the Platform Engineering organization supporting both products. For Aviator, I redesigned the game platform for around 50,000 monthly active players and delivered a zero-downtime migration strategy.

I also led the cloud-to-on-premises migration for US market expansion and built an AWS multi-account landing zone across multiple regions. I’m now looking for a remote, global senior individual contributor Solutions Architect role where I can own complex technical problems end to end.
