What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote or contract roles in business operations, procurement, IT support, or translation. I value collaboration, flexibility, and impact-driven work, and I’m motivated by opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and deliver practical solutions that create real value for teams and clients.

I am a Business Operations and IT professional with more than 17 years of experience leading procurement, vendor sourcing, IT systems administration, and business process consulting. My career spans leadership roles in trading and construction companies as well as extensive freelance consulting, where I’ve supported clients with proposal development, workflow design, localization (English ⇄ Amharic), and remote IT support.

I have a proven track record of preparing clear and cost-effective proposals, managing end-to-end procurement cycles, and building efficient systems that help organizations save time and resources. As a consultant, I’ve partnered with SMEs and NGOs to streamline supply chains, design SOPs, and deliver multilingual content that bridges cultural and operational gaps.

Fluent in English and Amharic, with working knowledge of Tigrigna, I thrive in international environments that demand adaptability and clear communication. I’m passionate about using technology, structured processes, and cultural insight to create practical solutions.

Currently, I am seeking remote or contract opportunities where I can contribute as a reliable partner in operations, IT, and translation services — delivering results with professionalism and a solutions-oriented mindset.
