What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote backend engineering role.

At Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, I build Java and Spring Boot microservices for loan origination and loan management. My work includes addressing authentication and concurrency issues with Spring Security and asynchronous processing.

As a Contract Software Engineer at Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, I built a microservices-based system for term loans and overdrafts, and developed middleware for real-time financial transactions. I also maintained enterprise banking systems and contributed to architecture reviews.

At MISSION, I build mobile-first web features and interactive interfaces. I’m looking for a remote backend engineering role.
