What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can build user-focused web applications, work with modern stacks and microservices, contribute to impactful products, and grow technically within collaborative teams.

I am a Computer Science graduate from the University of Gondar and a Full Stack Developer with hands-on experience building web and desktop applications using modern technologies and microservices architectures. I led the Interactive Lab Classroom project—built with Spring Boot, Node.js/Mediasoup and React—which won first place in my university's final year project competition and a prize of 10,000 Ethiopian Birr, and I contributed to UniHub Ethiopia, a web platform for educational resources.

I work across frontend and backend stacks (React, TypeScript, Spring Boot, Node.js) and databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and I emphasize secure authentication, real-time features, and performance. I bring strong adaptability, fast learning, accountability, and collaboration to deliver user-focused, maintainable software and continue improving my craft.
