## About

```text
At JSC Bank of Georgia, I own the architecture of the Payment, Payment Templates and Direct Debit modules for the BOGAPP Mobile Banking Platform, serving 1.5M+ active users.

I designed House Space to bring household bills together with template linking, deep link and QR sharing, and spending analytics. It reached 450K+ active spaces and won Global Finance's Best Bill Payment & Presentment in Central & Eastern Europe award.

I also designed Smart Suggested Templates and delivered the end-to-end Galt & Taggart brokerage onboarding flow and in-app stock trading. A real-time debt alert system I architected increased on-time bill payments by 30%.

Previously, as a Digital Channels Analyst at JSC Bank of Georgia, I analyzed behavior across 1.8M+ digital users and built KPI dashboards and performance reports. At Japan Tobacco International, I supported market research, forecasting, and competitive scenario analysis.
