I'm a Software and AI Engineer with 5+ years of experience building full-stack systems, AI-powered applications, and production grade backend infrastructure. I specialize in Ruby on Rails, Python, Node.js, and TypeScript, with deep hands-on experience in LLM integration, NLP pipelines, computer vision, and Kubernetes based deployments. My recent work spans building humanitarian tech platforms, developing AI agents for full stack applications, and running applied ML research on Vision Transformers. I've worked with AWS, GCP, Docker, Langchain, PyTorch, and TensorFlow and I'm comfortable reviewing, validating, and extending AI-generated code responsibly. Beyond shipping code, I care about system reliability, clean architecture, and building things that hold up under real world pressure. I'm drawn to meaningful work social impact platforms, research adjacent engineering, and systems that need to actually scale. I work at the intersection of software and institutional digitalization, driving the modernization of knowledge management systems, standardizing data workflows, and translating legacy processes into scalable digital infrastructure. Strong communicator. 5-star rated. Ready to build something that matters!

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
AI Engineer and Data Scientist with 4+ years of experience building and deploying production AI systems across healthcare, ESG, and enterprise domains. My work spans the full stack, from deep learning and computer vision to LLM applications and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Most recently, I led AI engineering for Amplitude Ventures (Norway), designing LLM-based systems and RAG pipelines with vector databases for enterprise knowledge extraction, and architecting the data infrastructure behind them. Before that, I built ML models and ETL pipelines for an ESG automation platform, and earlier led data-driven diagnostic systems for the Amhara Public Health Institute. I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science from Bahir Dar University, and my research has been published in Springer and IEEE (2025) — including a A noise-robust framework for Amharic speech recognition and a deep learning system for Ethiopian Sign Language recognition. This gives me hands-on depth in an area that few AI engineers touch: multilingual and low-resource language modeling. Core stack: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain/LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, SQL, vector databases, Docker. If you're building an LLM-powered product, a RAG system, or need AI applied to underserved languages or domains, I'd like to help.
