About
I am a builder, developer, and entrepreneur based in Addis Ababa. I build software products and startups, with a focus on practical AI systems, offline-first architectures, and digital platforms designed for African and emerging-market contexts.
Over the years, I have worked across the entire lifecycle of technology products — from concept and system architecture to full-stack engineering, team leadership, and company expansion.
