What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level Software Developer / Full-Stack Engineer role where I can own end-to-end delivery, build real-time data features, and apply my security-first mindset to ship reliable production systems.

I’m a full-stack engineer who ships production-grade systems end-to-end, from requirements through deployment. I’ve built real-time platform features like a GPS tracking experience and automated security workflows, with an emphasis on reliability and security.

Independently, I manage cloud infrastructure and real-time data pipelines using Terraform and Microsoft Azure. My projects and freelance work reflect my ability to own the full lifecycle—designing, debugging, and deploying without team support.

Professionally, I’ve delivered and supported production systems through internships and client work. At Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE), I maintained branch network operations and identified a process gap, then designed and deployed a PC repair and inventory management system to replace manual tracking.

On the backend side, I shipped features in Laravel and presented end-to-end architecture (database design, API development, and application logic) as part of a backend development internship. I bring a 7-month Cybersecurity Professional certification alongside a B.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and I’m excited to apply that security-first mindset to real-world software.
