What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, scalable software that improves public services and solves meaningful local problems, while growing through collaborative Agile teams and end-to-end product delivery.

At the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute, I lead backend customization and deployment of the CRVS system across Dire Dawa, Oromia, and Amhara, improving vital-record accessibility for millions of citizens. I also develop land-bank data management and bidder registration modules for Addis Land Integrated Management System.

I build secure, scalable services with Spring Boot, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Keycloak, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, React, and Next.js. During my internship at the AA Innovation & Technology Development Bureau, I developed ERP and issue-tracking modules while working in Agile/Scrum teams.

Beyond delivery, I’ve co-developed Gebere Vision AI for farmers, designed HavenHub for Ethiopia’s property market, and led entrepreneurship bootcamps and pitching competitions at ASTU.
