Bitew Abebayehu

I've built and managed full-stack platforms and enterprise IT solutions supporting digital transformation in Ethiopia. I founded Afta Digital, Ethiopia’s first live fashion and art show social marketplace platform.

At Harbu Microfinance Institution, I manage Core Banking System configurations and updates across branches, maintain network infrastructure, and lead system training and technical support. I also developed the institution’s official website on Ethio Telecom cloud infrastructure and deployed an ERP system for employee information, leave, and attendance management.

Through Afta Digital, I integrated video streaming, live events, and e-commerce using PHP, React, and Firebase, connecting designers, artisans, distributors, and customers. I also develop and manage Job24, a job portal for managing postings, applicants, and employee workflows.

My background includes system administration, cloud server management, database systems, network configuration, and IT support. I’m passionate about using technology to support financial institutions, empower youth entrepreneurs, and advance digital innovation across Ethiopia.
