What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to collaborate on AI, backend, and FinTech products that solve meaningful real-world problems.

At 10 Academy, I built end-to-end AI and machine learning solutions for Ethiopian fintech challenges, including credit risk models to support data-driven lending decisions.

I evaluated algorithms and addressed imbalanced datasets using feature engineering, cross-validation, and SMOTE. I used precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC to select models.

At Melos Technologies PLC, I developed Django REST Framework APIs for an e-commerce marketplace, including JWT authentication for Buyer, Seller, and Admin roles. I also designed relational database models with Django ORM and PostgreSQL.

On the SmartHire AI hackathon project, I developed a platform connecting homeowners with domestic workers in Ethiopia, with Fayda ID verification, smart matching, bilingual access, and AI-assisted contract generation. I’m looking for opportunities to collaborate on AI, backend, and FinTech products that solve real-world problems.
