What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in technology and entrepreneurship to make a meaningful impact.

I am a dedicated computer engineer with a strong academic background from Bahir Dar University, where I graduated with a GPA of 3.76. My journey in technology has been marked by significant achievements, including my role as an embedded system engineer at INSA, where I contributed to the cloud seeding project now deployed in over 50 locations across Ethiopia. My innovative learning performance earned me a prestigious award from the Prime Minister, highlighting my commitment to excellence and creativity in engineering.

As a co-founder of Kuru Flakes, an agribusiness startup, I have successfully combined my technical skills with entrepreneurial spirit. This initiative focuses on producing and distributing vegetable flakes, showcasing my ability to bridge technology and agriculture. Additionally, I have developed an eye-glass project for the visually impaired, which reads Amharic and English text aloud, demonstrating my passion for using technology to solve real-world problems.
