What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level opportunity in networking, telecommunications, or ICT infrastructure where I can apply my technical foundation and contribute to reliable connectivity solutions.

At Ethio Telecom, I assisted with monitoring and analyzing 2G/3G/4G core network elements, including MSC, SGSN, and GGSN components. I learned about alarms, signaling flows, and KPI reporting in a telecom operations environment.

At Edge Communication Technologies, I gained exposure to Fortinet security solutions and cybersecurity fundamentals. I also assisted with technical documentation for ICT projects, including proposals, compliance sheets, and bills of materials.

For my final-year project at ADDISABABAUNIVERSITY(CTBE), I designed a cost-effective, solar-powered 4G network for rural off-grid areas using Poutanet technology. I developed Python tools for coverage, solar sizing, and capacity planning, and am pursuing Cisco CCNA (200-301) training.
