What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles focused on scalable APIs, performance optimization, offline-first features, strong testing/CI, and opportunities to build robust systems at product-driven organizations.

I am a backend engineer specializing in building scalable, high-performance APIs and offline-first systems, with strong full-stack experience in Angular and .NET. I focus on pragmatic engineering that improves reliability, latency, and maintainability.

At EagleLion System Technology I migrated 50+ legacy banking APIs to FastAPI, improving response times by 30–50% and implementing multi-database, multi-tenant architectures that support cross-period queries and 10,000+ concurrent requests.

I have delivered end-to-end features for Addis Ababa University across multiple IMIS modules, optimized analytics dashboards with star-schema SQL and Slowly Changing Dimensions, and refactored monoliths into modular services while improving UI responsiveness with RxJS.

My projects include an offline-first mobile receipt manager parsing 4,000+ real receipts at 98% accuracy and a FastAPI lyrics-fetcher API deployed with Docker achieving sub-200ms responses and 99.9% uptime. I emphasize testing, CI/CD, and practical integrations with LLMs and native plugins to solve real-world constraints.
