Ethiopia

Message

At Afropays Digital Financial Technologies, I build and maintain backend services for AfroPay’s payment gateway, merchant operations platform, electronic invoicing system, and parking platform. My work includes REST APIs and payment flows for checkout, request-to-pay, USSD, payment links, webhooks, and refunds.

At ArifPay Financial Technologies, I architected and delivered Arif Remit, a mobile and backend platform for international money transfers. I integrated Visa CyberSource and MPGS, along with core banking APIs from CBE, Bank of Abyssinia, and Zemen Bank for remittance payouts in Ethiopia.

Earlier at ArifPay, I developed payment and banking integrations and led mPOS and Android POS development. I also built a Java CRM prototype at Symbol Technologies and contributed to an EIPA website prototype as an intern.
