Software Engineer
Software engineer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I've spent the last few years building digital products across fintech, telecom, logistics, and healthcare — and co-founding a few companies along the way.
About
I started writing software professionally in 2019. What began as a developer role gradually led me into building things from scratch — systems, teams, and eventually companies. I've co-founded three ventures over the past few years, mostly because there was a problem worth solving and I happened to have the skills to try.
Along the way I've worked on telecom voucher platforms, a delivery app, healthcare records systems, and agricultural supply chain software. I've had the chance to integrate with Ethio Telecom, Telebirr, and Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, which has taught me a lot about building software in the Ethiopian context.
I studied Software Engineering at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University and graduated with a 3.96 CGPA.
Selected Work
A delivery platform for Addis Ababa covering food, grocery, pharmacy, and parcels. I worked on the backend architecture, the data model, and helped set up the deployment infrastructure. It connects customers, merchants, and drivers through separate apps.
A voucher distribution system connected to Telebirr for handling airtime transactions. I worked on the security design to meet INSA's requirements and set up the production infrastructure for a telecom environment.
The system I started at CodeLight for managing telecom airtime vouchers — issuance, distribution, and agent operations. I built it end-to-end and still maintain the production environment today.
A marketplace for specialty crops connecting buyers with vendors in emerging markets. I worked on the trade workflow features and supply chain data model during my time at CropConex, a startup based in Berkeley, CA.
An EMR system used across several clinics and hospitals. At OrbitHealth, I worked on improving reliability and adapting the healthcare workflows to real clinical environments.
