What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build responsive, user-first products across web and mobile. I want ownership of UI features, collaboration with backend teams, and opportunities to grow through testing, performance, and real-world deployment.

I’m a Software Engineer with a strong UI/UX and fullstack foundation, building products that are fast, accessible, and easy to use. I graduated with Distinction from Adama Science & Technology University and I’m energized by turning complex ideas into clean, practical interfaces.

In my recent role as a Frontend Developer at Perago Systems, I collaborated with backend developers to deliver a documentation management and publishing system, improving internal content accessibility by 30%. I built responsive UIs with Next.js and Mantine UI, reduced page load time by 25%, and improved API integration using Redux & Redux-toolkit—reducing latency-related issues by 40%.

I also value quality and reliability. I wrote automated tests with Playwright, increasing test coverage by 60% and reducing regression bugs during releases, while keeping development focused on usability and performance.

Earlier, as a Mobile Application Developer at Omishtu Joy Tech Solutions, I designed an artwork marketplace UI that increased artist engagement by 35%. I developed with Flutter and Riverpod, integrated the Chapa payment gateway to improve payment success rate by 25%, and applied the same user-first mindset to projects like MIRHUB and EthioTour, including deploying MIRHUB to Vercel for 24/7 accessibility.
