What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, high-impact banking and fintech systems, with opportunities to deepen backend, API, payment integration, and core banking platform work.

At Awash Bank, I build and maintain core banking backends, RESTful APIs, and payment integrations using Java Spring Boot, C# ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, and WSO2 Integration Studio.

I've led development of a bank-wide UAT Portal and delivered backend logic and database configuration for the Eagle Sight SACCO-based payment platform. My work supports high-volume transactions, secure data exchange, and streamlined testing and deployment workflows.

Before software engineering, I expanded digital banking channels at Awash Bank and supported enterprise ERP systems at CNET Software Technologies. I also bring a Master's degree in Digital Marketing and E-Commerce and practical experience connecting technology with banking user needs.
