What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build secure, scalable software and automate SOC workflows—combining AI and incident-response engineering with strong QA practices, ownership, and measurable impact on reliability and response time.

I’m a software professional with hands-on experience across full-stack development, cybersecurity, quality assurance, and SOC automation at INSA in Addis Ababa. I built Agazh-AI, a self-hosted AI chat platform using Next.js, Ollama, and SearxNG, with real-time streaming and multi-mode RAG designed for privacy-focused local LLM inference.

I also engineered a Python-based SOC automation workflow that reduced analyst workload by ~90%, customizing Shuffle SOAR to unify threat analysis through response and integrating it into NIRP for faster investigations. From secure Python/Django RBAC and audit logging to comprehensive automated testing and CI/CD integration, I focus on scalable architecture, automation, and reliable incident-response workflows.
