Davit K.

Senior Full-Stack & AI Engineer | Rails, Elixir, React, Node.js

Founding engineer with 17+ years shipping products from zero to millions of users. Three times the first engineering hire. I've taken products from the first commit to 20M users, integrated AI end-to-end, and owned the full stack from mobile to infrastructure. Recent impact: • EverAI — First engineering hire. Grew the platform from 0 → 20M users and $5M monthly revenue. Built LLM, image generation, voice, and video AI features from scratch. • TurbaMedia — Built an advertising platform from concept to $24M+ in annual ad spend in 6 months. Integrated Meta, Google, and Reddit APIs with an AI-powered creative generation pipeline. • Shogun (YC-backed) — First engineer. Helped grow it into one of the most successful Shopify apps — category leader through 2025. Core stack: Ruby on Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, Node.js, TypeScript, React, React Native, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS, Docker AI: LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic), image generation, voice & video AI, agent systems Why clients hire me: I thrive in ambiguous, early-stage environments. I've been the first engineering hire three times and solo-shipped products that reached millions of users. You won't need to hand-hold — I own the architecture, the code, and the outcome. Remote, GMT+4. Tell me what you're building.
