Gadzhi Kharkharov

Software designer focused on creating better tools for builders. I'm passionate about systems thinking and crafting intuitive, efficient interfaces.
Outside of work, I'm usually building side projects, diving into emerging tech, cycling up hills, hiking remote trails, or chasing mastery in FromSoftware games.
