What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying hydraulic engineering, AI, and data science to optimize energy systems, ideally in collaborative, impact-driven teams with opportunities for technical leadership and policy influence.

I am a hydraulic engineer and senior researcher blending engineering, data science, and sustainable energy practice to improve power systems and reservoir management. I lead modeling projects and develop software platforms that support infrastructure assessment and operational efficiency.

At Ethiopian Electric Power and in international advisory roles, I have driven process improvements, conducted technical audits, and developed copyrighted energy software to optimize generation and management. My work emphasizes practical integration of mathematical and numerical methods across projects.

I bring hands-on experience with Python, machine learning, GIS, MATLAB, and project management tools, and I apply neural networks and statistical models to forecasting and optimization challenges in water and energy systems.

I hold advanced degrees and continuing study in hydraulic and financial engineering, and I am passionate about using AI and data-driven approaches to inform policy, improve system performance, and scale sustainable energy solutions.
