Your IT specialist on contract — for crewing agencies in Batumi and beyond
Bring me into your team: on a support contract, for a project, or as a part-time member of staff. I have worked with Batumi crewing agencies for 20 years, I am a seaman by training and have 25 years in IT — computers, network, website, software and AI from one specialist.
How we can work together
Support contract
Monthly: regular checks, priority call-outs, remote help and a report — at a clear, fixed price.
by agreementProject contract
A vacancy website, seafarer database software, an office move or opening, AI adoption — with a plan, a timeline and a price.
by agreementPart-time staff role
A few days a week in your office — like your own IT department, without the cost of a full-time hire.
open to discussRemote — for other cities and countries
Support via remote access, websites and software for companies outside Batumi.
by agreementWhat a support contract includes
- Regular checks of computers, backups, antivirus and updates.
- Email and accounts: a new employee gets access the same day; a leaving employee loses it.
- Scanners, printers, the network and a separate Wi-Fi for seafarers.
- Workstations for seafarers' online tests — ready for every test.
- Website and vacancies: updates, backups, small changes.
- Help for managers with AI: letters, forms, translations.
- Priority call-outs in Batumi and remote help during working hours.
- A short monthly report: what was done and what I recommend.
Why it pays off
- Cheaper than a full-time system administrator: no full salary, taxes or holidays to cover.
- One specialist covers everything: computers, network, website, software and AI.
- I understand crewing: I am a seaman by training and have worked with Batumi crewing agencies for 20 years.
- No need to explain what an application form is or why seafarers' documents are confidential.
- English, Russian and Georgian — including correspondence with shipowners.
Terms
- A service contract: the scope of work, response times and the price — all in writing.
- You can start with a one-off job or a short trial period — no long commitments.
- Seafarers' data stays confidential; I sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) if needed.
- Payment by bank transfer; a 3-month guarantee on the work done.
Who it is for
According to the official list of Georgia's Maritime Transport Agency, dozens of crewing companies and maritime organisations operate in the country — most of them in Batumi. I work with all kinds:
How we start
Getting to know you
I visit your office: computers, network, website, how your managers work.
A proposal
The format (support, project or staff role), the scope and the price — in writing.
Contract and start
We begin with what is most urgent — backups and security.
Work and reporting
Every month: what was done and what comes next.
AI in your crewing work
- Forms, CVs and scans go straight into the database; the manager just checks.
- Letters to shipowners, vacancies and replies to seafarers — drafts in a minute.
- Seafarers' passports and documents stay in a local model, never sent online.
- I train your managers — I work with Claude Code, ChatGPT, LM Studio and Ollama myself.
