Hi, It's Nodari
(Hagrida)
Kobakhidze

I’m Nodari, also known as a Hagrid. “Video Games” is pretty much a description of my life, however unlike most, I actually grew up making Video Games, rather than just playing them (but to be honest, I’ve also played a lot!).

For past 5 years, I’ve been professionally engaged within the Video Games Industry, and for past 3 years I’ve been part of the Stormbringer Studios, where I was mentored by, and worked alongside the industry veterans. I’ve contributed to many indie titles, including one of the most successful game being Pixel Fury, with over 5 million downloads.

Alongside the SBS, I’ve started working on Upwork as a freelancer with great success. I have had both Rising Talent and Top Rated badge within short period of time. I was also featured as a #2 TOP Developer.

I had chance to attend one of the biggest indie (and not only) conference, Casual Connect & Indie Prize in Berlin. I met people from some of the top big studios such as Square Enix, Valve, Bohemia Interactive and lot more a bit smaller, but amazing studios. I’ve also met Artur Maksara, Producer of Shadow Warrior 2 and I’ve connected with many more, some of them has even mentored me (such as devs from Ubisoft and DICE)

AR, VR and other cutting edge technologies aren’t new to me. My AR Game got recognized by Microsoft and I were invited at the Microsoft. And my last VR Project that I worked on was nominated for two awards, Best Debut VR Experience and the Best VR Interactive Narrative Experience at the Raindance Film Festival in London.

Since 2018, I now run my own studio, Wild Skull Games

I still believe I got long way to go, so I’m currently looking for all kinds of opportunities (Internships, Junior Positions, QA, Universities etc.). If you are looking for someone, who’s passionate about what they do, who loves to think out of box and enjoys problem solving, I’m your guy, send me an email!
