What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am a motivated software engineer with over three years of experience in advanced AI data training and software development. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Addis Ababa University, where I developed a solid foundation in programming and computer science. I have honed my skills in both back-end and front-end development, working with technologies such as ASP.NET, Django, Node.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Currently, I serve as an AI Data Trainer at Turing, where I contribute to training cutting-edge Generative AI models. My role involves evaluating model responses and refining them based on user feedback. I have also led the development of a ride-sharing application for the Ethiopian market, demonstrating my ability to deliver impactful solutions. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievements, including solving over 900 competitive programming problems and winning multiple project competitions.
