About
I am a software engineer from Ethiopia with over seven years of experience building systems that people rely on every day—in education, health, agriculture, and finance.
My work has ranged from national platforms that place students into universities, to agricultural data hubs used for research and decision-making, to OpenLMIS supply-chain systems and budget tools supporting international health programs. I care about systems that are reliable, clear, and genuinely useful.
I develop software that is customized to meet organizational needs, and I collaborate closely with teams to ship work that holds up under real-world scale—including systems capable of handling over a million requests per day.
