Let's build something together.

Where to find me
- Email gorgekara@gmail.com The quickest way to reach me, and the one I check first. Say what you are building and I will reply.
- LinkedIn /in/gjorge-karakabakov The full work history, and where most hiring and contract conversations start.
- GitHub @gorgekara Side projects, experiments, and most of the things the blog posts are about.
- X @gjorge_k Short posts on JavaScript, 3D on the web, and whatever tool I am arguing with that week.
- Instagram @gjorgekarakabakov Less code. Mostly life outside the editor, which is the other half of it.
- Curriculum vitae CV.pdf Eleven years in a couple of pages, if you would rather skim than scroll.
What I can help with
Four things I have done enough times to be useful at on day one. If what you have is next to one of them rather than on it, write anyway - the worst case is a short reply pointing you somewhere better.
-
Web applications
React, Next.js and TypeScript front ends, from an empty repository to something shipped. Node.js, Nest.js or Express behind them when the back end is mine too.
-
Mobile with React Native
Cross-platform apps in React Native and Expo, sharing as much with the web as is sensible to share and no more.
-
Design systems
Company-wide component libraries, with the Storybook documentation, testing floor and adoption work that keeps one from drifting a year later.
-
Leading the team
Team lead work: mentoring engineers, holding a quality bar, and managing scope, deadlines and the stakeholders attached to them.
No form, no funnel, no discovery call
