Tariel Bezhanidze — your IT specialist in Batumi

My name is Tariel Bezhanidze — like the hero of Shota Rustaveli's The Knight in the Panther's Skin. My first computer, before 2001, was a 486DX that I installed Windows 95 on myself, then a Pentium I with Windows 98. I have worked with computers professionally since 2001, and in 2004–2005 I spent a year building computers and installing Windows XP at a large computer store in Batumi — the first computers for many families and offices in the city. Today it is Windows 11, SSD and NVMe, networks and Wi-Fi, MacBooks. More than 500 computers and laptops in Batumi have passed through my hands.

For about 20 years I have worked with maritime crewing agencies in Batumi: I set up office computers and networks, and I have built more than 15 websites for crewing companies. I know the maritime world from the inside — I have maritime technical training as a deck seaman and a valid seaman's book. Application forms, seafarers' documents and shipowners' requirements are a language I speak.

I hold two university degrees — in law and in education, as a teacher of English. Law makes me careful with contracts and other people's data; teaching helps me explain complex things simply. I speak English, Russian and Georgian.

Beyond computers, I am into electronics and electrics, and around the house I can do almost anything a good handyman can. I shoot photo and video with a Nikon. I drive a car, but around Batumi I mostly ride a motorbike — it gets me to clients faster.

I work on call-outs only: I come to your home or office with my own IT kit and do everything in front of you. A backup before any work, the price before I start, and afterwards a 3-month guarantee and 30 days of support.
