What I'm looking for

I’m open to senior remote roles globally and to relocation.

At AdilasTech, I took ULS.ai from no AI capability to a live streaming assistant, building its inference service and React interface. The platform handles several hundred concurrent requests and retrieves information from several hundred thousand indexed documents.

Before that, at SkyHighCloud, I led delivery on more than 10 client products and integrated LLM features across the portfolio. The products supported over 100,000 monthly user sessions, and query restructuring, indexing, and caching reduced latency by 40%.

At Adotsense, I led R&D for hate speech and misinformation detection in Amharic, Afaan Oromo, and Tigrinya. I fine-tuned multilingual BERT and built the React analysis platform; automated content-analysis pipelines reduced manual review time by 35%.

I also launched a Flutter campus app at Maed Technologies that reached 2,000+ active users in its first year, and built a procurement application still in daily use across the university. I’m open to senior remote roles globally and to relocation.
