AI/ML & Full-Stack Engineer

George Babakhanov

I build AI products end to end. Now I'm going deeper: inference, AI architectures and the math behind models. I don't know it all yet, and that is the work I want to do.

Open to startup roles in San Francisco

DisClub - Co-founder

Co-founded DisClub, a social platform designed to help people meet others with similar interests and hobbies.

The Concept

DisClub was built around a simple idea: connecting people who share passions and interests, not just romantic compatibility. Think of it as Tinder for friendships -> matching users based on hobbies, goals, and what they want to build together.

Key Features

  • Interest-based matching algorithm
  • Community building tools
  • Event coordination for meetups
  • Hobby-focused user profiles

What I Learned

This was my first real venture into building a product from scratch. The experience taught me about product-market fit, user research, and the challenges of building community-driven platforms.

I'm George (Gosha), an AI and full-stack engineer in Toronto. I ship production software -> the ERP that runs Avateq end to end, email and matching systems at LOCVM, and Kava, an iOS app I co-founded. I started building companies at 16 and I learn by building, breaking and fixing. Next -> a startup team in San Francisco.
