What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level role in web or mobile development or UI/UX where I can contribute to user-centered products, grow technical skills, and learn modern stacks within a collaborative team.

I graduated with a Bachelor in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University and I am passionate about building web and mobile solutions that blend design and functionality. I developed skills in frontend and backend web development, UI/UX and graphics design, Flutter, Laravel/PHP, databases, NetSuite ERP and MS Office through university projects and courses on Coursera, WataT and Mindluster.

I completed internships at TechnoHacks (web development) and Sigma Engineering (maintenance), built an ecommerce web app with Laravel at OROICT Solution, and worked as a UX/UI designer for clients delivering app interfaces and landing pages. I completed a thesis on EPM and Online Payment, trained with Dereja SoftSkill, and hold multiple certifications that reflect my commitment to continuous learning.
