About

Who I am

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

Your technical partner, not just a dev.

I don't just write code; I help you ship features that users love, without the technical headaches.

Backend Systems & APIs

Architectures that scale with you.

High-performance APIs and data pipelines. I design systems that handle complex logic, secure data flow, and heavy traffic without breaking.

  • REST & GraphQL API design
  • Database modeling & optimization
  • Secure authentication & caching strategies

Cloud infrastructure

Deployments that don't wake you up.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect with hands-on GCP experience. Lean, secure stacks that match your stage.

  • CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments
  • Cost-aware architecture with backups and alerts
  • Clear documentation and smooth team handoffs

Automation & AI

Automation that survives real-world traffic.

Python scripts, n8n flows, and AI automation to keep teams focused on outcomes. Great for lead intake, reporting, and enrichment.

  • Web scraping & data extraction
  • LLM-assisted data cleaning and routing
  • Scheduled workflows with sensible observability
