What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-first applications, large-scale data pipelines, and low-latency real-time systems, with opportunities to work on LLM-driven extraction, distributed systems, and practical products.

I founded Makedo.et, an AI-powered e-commerce search engine that aggregates laptop listings from Telegram shop channels using LLMs to extract structured product data. It drove 2,000+ site visits in launch week and ETB 12,500 in profit within its first two weeks.

I'm a Computer Science student building with Rust, Python, and Svelte. My projects include deepship, an LLM-guided crawler for scalable web extraction, and co-binge, a cross-platform media player with real-time synchronized playback, chat, and stickers.
