About
I'm a backend engineer based in Addis Ababa, specializing in resilient Python architectures and automated workflows.
I specialize in the "engine room" of software: data pipelines, API logic, and cloud infrastructure. I build the systems that keep business applications running smoothly, securely, and without constant maintenance.
What I Do
I don't just write code; I help you ship features that users love, without the technical headaches.
Backend Systems & APIs
High-performance APIs and data pipelines. I design systems that handle complex logic, secure data flow, and heavy traffic without breaking.
Cloud infrastructure
AWS Certified Solutions Architect with hands-on GCP experience. Lean, secure stacks that match your stage.
Automation & AI
Python scripts, n8n flows, and AI automation to keep teams focused on outcomes. Great for lead intake, reporting, and enrichment.
