What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote roles in LLM/agent engineering, applied ML, multimodal, or research engineering—where I can build autonomous, tool-using systems with safety controls, and help deliver deployable AI products end-to-end.

I’m an AI Engineer with end-to-end experience shipping LLM and agentic systems. I’ve built an Amharic GPT for low-resource generation and a Transformer trained from scratch in PyTorch for Amharic-English translation, and I’ve designed multi-agent research and learning systems using OpenAI SDK, Google ADK, and Gemini.

Currently, I’m an AI Developer at Zeami, where I build a system that converts recorded workflows into autonomous AI agents—executing via API tool-use, browser computer-use, and desktop RPA. I also lead and teach at AperionAI, designing a full-stack AI curriculum (from Python through Agentic Systems) and mentoring learners shipping deployable applications; earlier, at VFS Global, I ran operations under strict compliance constraints and authored an LLM-powered customer-support assistant proposal selected for implementation.
