I'm a Builder
I Craft Powerful Infrastructure and empower developers
With 3+ years of hands-on experience in software development, I specialize in crafting robust web applications and cloud infrastructure using Python, JavaScript, and Go. My journey began as a teenage coder and evolved into a passion for solving real-world problems through technology.
I founded and manage Addis Tech Jobs a community initiative that aggregates IT opportunities from LinkedIn, Telegram, and other platforms. To date, the page has attracted 3,500+ developers and followers by curating and sharing verified job openings completely free of charge.
As a technical writer, I publish tutorials and articles on Medium covering Python, Django, and AWS. My content focuses on practical solutions, helping developers overcome challenges in backend development and cloud architecture.
Beyond code, I mentor aspiring developers through workshops and speaking engagements, advocating for equal opportunities in Ethiopia's growing tech ecosystem.

I built a database explorer platform using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, SQLite, and Nuxt. It simplifies SQL and PostgreSQL database management by providing a unified interface for tasks that were previously fragmented. The platform provided introspection, visualization, and schema/data alteration tools, improving developer productivity.
