## About

```text
At Chilot.et, I’m building a lawyer marketplace and social platform for Ethiopia’s legal sector, using Next.js, Hono, Cloudflare Workers, and PostgreSQL. I cofounded the platform to connect lawyers with clients.

As a Freelance AI Engineer, I’m building a short-form video and story generation app that orchestrates script and scene generation with LangChain, Claude, and Gemini alongside Higgsfield and Seedance video-generation APIs. I own the product end to end, from the generation pipeline and backend to the user-facing app.

My consulting work has included automating documentation integrated with SRS Health EHR, resolving LangChain/RAG implementation issues for a personalized travel storytelling app, and hardening systems against prompt injection. I’ve also built full-stack products across healthcare, creative tools, and 3D visualization.
