Ethiopia

Message

At Independent, I designed and built Project Zeus, a quantitative research and decision platform for gold and Nasdaq futures. I created a 33k-line Python/TypeScript monorepo with tested APIs, interactive three.js visualizations, and real-time integrations, deployed 24/7 on Linux.

At Manifest Automation, I owned a React Native application end to end and designed tested Django endpoints. At NVAPPS, I built Next.js and TypeScript applications serving 1M+ monthly visitors; I also developed HakimHub at Eskalate and a food-delivery mobile app at Gebeya Inc.
