I’m a full-stack software engineer from Ethiopia with 2+ years of experience building end-to-end web and mobile applications for both US and international clients. I work across the JavaScript ecosystem (React, Next.js, Node.js, Nest.js) and Python (Django, Flask), and I also have backend experience with Golang—bringing features from architecture and integration to reliable production delivery. I’ve led technical planning as a CTO and have integrated AI/LLM capabilities into SaaS products using services like OpenAI and Google Gemini. From shipping multi-tenant RBAC and secure auth patterns to improving uptime by fixing critical backend/frontend failures, I enjoy turning complex requirements into dependable systems that users can trust.
