Full‑stack software engineer building scalable fintech and telecom systems with AI automation.

What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, secure production systems where I can apply full‑stack skills, AI automation, and mentor junior engineers.

I am a full‑stack software engineer with hands‑on experience building scalable fintech, telecom, and web applications. I focus on delivering production‑ready backend services, performant front‑end experiences, and AI‑driven automation that improves business workflows.

At Kifiya Financial Technology I built AI‑driven automation tools, developed Node.js backend services, and designed Python data pipelines to process structured and unstructured data. I collaborate closely with engineers and product teams to deploy secure, scalable systems.

Previously, I developed React and React Native applications for EthioTelecom, optimized database queries and backend integrations, and implemented secure banking services and REST APIs at Dashen Bank using MySQL and PostgreSQL. My projects include an AI customer support chatbot, a national exam preparation mobile app, and a real‑time inventory management system.

I contribute to student tech communities as a production team lead and technical core team member, mentor junior developers, and continuously deepen my software engineering and algorithm skills through training and competitive problem solving.
