About

Professional summary

I am a results-driven software engineer with experience in backend and full-stack development. I specialize in Python and have worked with FastAPI, Django, ASP.NET, Express.js, Node.js, React, Golang, and gRPC.

I have professional experience developing learning platforms, human resource management systems, ride-sharing applications, and AI training data for software engineering models. I am comfortable building scalable backend services, APIs, and full-stack web applications.

I have worked on LLM fine-tuning data generation, including SFT and RLHF datasets. I have also designed agentic function-calling workflows and multi-step tool-use scenarios to improve code-generation models.

I am a competitive programmer with more than 1,500 solved problems across LeetCode, Codeforces, and HackerRank. This background has strengthened my skills in data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and writing efficient code.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from Addis Ababa University. I am eager to learn new technologies and frameworks, and I bring strong communication, testing, documentation, and collaboration skills to engineering teams.
