Software Engineer

• 👋 Hello there, I'm a software engineer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
• 💡 I am a dedicated Software Engineer with extensive experience leading projects and teaching at Africa to Silicon Valley (backed by Google twice!). 🌍 Growing up in a small village in Ethiopia, I’ve overcome numerous challenges, and I am driven by a passion to empower others and create real-world solutions through technology.
• ✨ Currently, I am leading Project Bazar, an AI-powered platform that connects users to trusted services and products, and volunteering as a Product Manager at Akil. Previously, as Head of Education at Africa to Silicon Valley, I worked in both Ethiopia and Ghana, gaining valuable cross-national experience. During this time, I helped one of my students secure an internship at Goldman Sachs.
• 🤖 I specialize in building chatbots, improving backend systems, and leveraging the AI to solve complex problems. My tech stack includes Node.js, MongoDB, Flutter, Next.js, Python, JavaScript, Django, and more. I’ve also worked with CI/CD, REST APIs, and relational/non-relational databases. Additionally, I’ve used Flutter for mobile development 📱 and Next.js for web applications.
• 🚀 My journey from rural Ethiopia to the tech world has fueled my mission to apply my skills in impactful ways, and I am excited to bring this drive and expertise to new opportunities.
