Software Engineer · Product Builder
Transitioning from civil engineering to software development gave me a unique blueprint for building software: I treat code the same way I treat physical infrastructure, designing for structural integrity, load management, and long-term scalability.
Today, I focus on transforming complex challenges into efficient backend logic, smart automation, and high-performing digital solutions that drive real-world impact.

Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering with a focus on software architecture, system design, algorithms, databases, and full-stack application development. Applying theoretical concepts through hands-on projects to build scalable, maintainable, and user-centered software solutions.
Bachelor of Science, Civil & Environmental Engineering
Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering, developing expertise in structural engineering, transportation systems, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, and sustainable infrastructure. Strengthened analytical thinking, engineering design, and quantitative problem-solving through rigorous coursework and practical projects.
High School Diploma
Graduated from one of Ethiopia's government boarding schools for high-achieving students, where a rigorous academic environment fostered discipline, leadership, independent learning, and a strong foundation in mathematics and science.
Data Encoder
Participated in a national AI project, where meticulous attention to detail and rigorous data validation were essential to building reliable datasets for machine learning models.
Team Lead & Full-Stack Developer
Led a multidisciplinary team during the 4-month INSA Summer Tech Camp building challenge to develop EduConnect, a full-stack educational platform. Designed the backend architecture while collaborating on frontend development to deliver a scalable solution.
Backend Developer Trainee
Completed ALX's intensive, project-based backend engineering program, gaining hands-on experience building production-ready applications while solving real-world software engineering challenges. Collaborated with peers, received mentorship from experienced engineers, and strengthened technical, problem-solving, and professional skills in an industry-focused environment.
Some of my projects and technical achievements.
A full-stack mobile platform built to streamline wholesale distribution and field sales operations. It provides dedicated portals for administrators and sales reps to manage warehouse checkouts, track live debt ledgers, coordinate supplier batches, and process payment approvals. The app is powered by React Native and Expo Router, featuring biometric security, a custom slate dark mode, and real-time data syncing via TanStack Query and Zustand. It also utilizes Expo Application Services (EAS) to instantly deploy Over-The-Air (OTA) updates to users.
An AST-powered static analysis tool that scans Java codebases to detect duplicated business logic. Utilizing a custom Weighted Levenshtein algorithm and JavaParser, it minimizes false positives by comparing structural logic rather than raw text. It features a modern FlatLaf Java Swing GUI and is globally distributed as a public CLI package (published 2 months ago on NPM as smart-duplicate-detector v1.0.0).
A comprehensive, student-centered learning hub designed to empower students across Ethiopia. It features a scalable backend architecture, robust relational database modeling, and secure API integrations to create a vibrant community where users can learn, connect, and achieve.
