What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote roles (UTC+3).

At Hawassa University, ICT Directorate (HU), I independently owned requirements, architecture, and implementation of BIRS, a public infrastructure issue-reporting platform. I built its Node.js, Express, and TypeScript backend, PostgreSQL schema, and OTP-based multi-factor authentication with Redis.

On the BIRS project, I built a full-stack platform for citizens, authorities, and admins, including three React frontends. I’m reworking its schema and migrations for production readiness and rebuilding API modules on top.

I also built a Django backend for a Car Rental System, covering vehicle categories, customer orders, rentals, and image uploads. I deployed the backend on Render and the frontend on Vercel, and built a separate NestJS authentication and authorization module for a family-owned café’s point-of-sale.
