Eyob Mulugeta
@eyobmulugeta
Python developer and AI automation builder delivering live, deployed fintech and agent systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student and self-taught Python developer who ships and maintains real, deployed software—not just coursework. I built and deployed a production fintech Telegram bot that processes live payments, and I founded a small AI-education academy with paying students.
Most recently, I built two AI applications from the ground up: a document Q&A platform using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and an autonomous research agent that searches the web and reasons across multiple steps. I focus on grounded answers, tool-calling reliability, and end-to-end delivery with FastAPI backends.
I’m comfortable building REST APIs and integrating payment flows, relational databases, and cloud deployment (Render, Vercel, Railway). Currently, I’m deepening my data-handling and applied machine learning foundations (NumPy, pandas) while continuing to improve the systems I ship.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Built and deployed a production document Q&A platform using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline for PDF/DOCX/TXT. Implemented chunking, vector embeddings with ChromaDB, query expansion for improved retrieval, and a FastAPI + React stack deployed on Render and Vercel.
Built and deployed an autonomous web-research agent using the ReAct (Reason + Act) pattern with live tool access. Implemented tool calling for web search (Serper API), webpage reading, date lookup, and calculations, served via a FastAPI backend.
Built and deployed a Telegram fintech bot enabling Ethiopian users to shop on AliExpress using Ethiopian Birr via end-to-end AliExpress-style order flows. Integrated the Chapa payment gateway with webhook verification, implemented balance tracking and the full order lifecycle, and maintained the system with 500+ commits.
