What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying algorithms, AI/ML, and mathematical reasoning in collaborative, research-driven teams with mentorship and growth opportunities.

I am a third-year Computer Science student at Dokuz Eylül University, awarded a full-ride scholarship for academic excellence and a top ESSLCE score (595/700). I combine rigorous mathematical training—qualifying both rounds of the Ethiopian Math Olympiad—with hands-on algorithm and AI project experience, having developed 10+ projects and solved 200+ advanced algorithmic problems.

I have taught mathematics to 100+ high-school students, improving exam performance an average of 25%, and I bring strong debugging, optimization, and discrete-mathematics skills to research and development roles. I am self-motivated, effective in remote and asynchronous settings, and consistently rank in the top 10% of my algorithm coursework.
