What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where I can deepen my AI and intelligent-systems skills. I want to build responsive, high-impact products, learn from strong teams, and contribute through frontend and full-stack engineering.

I’m a software developer with a strong computer science foundation and ongoing accounting studies, driven by a passion for technology that translates into real-world impact. I combine analytical thinking, clear communication, and teamwork to solve problems through innovative software.

In my current role at the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute, I focus primarily on frontend development—designing modern, responsive interfaces and helping deliver scalable, user-friendly applications. I also contribute to performance optimization, code reviews, and internal knowledge-sharing, with experience across systems such as a Project Management System, an Immigration and Citizenship Services (ICS) System, an E-Learning Platform, and more.

Earlier, I built production-ready skills during a full-stack internship where I developed an expense tracking system using the MERN stack. I’ve also mentored teams through FIRST Global Robotics and supported STEM outreach as a TME Education Ambassador, while pursuing AI and data analysis training to further develop my expertise in intelligent systems.
