About

Senior full-stack developer in Addis Ababa. I ship React, Next.js and Flutter products for fintech, HR tech and enterprise — including live lending platforms processing ETB 1B+. I also train developers, and build Ethiopian-context tools: a Ge'ez calendar, a graphics-algorithm visualizer, and et-phone.

Reach

Addis Ababa hours,
distributed by default.

I've spent years inside distributed fintech teams — shipping for banks and partners across Ethiopia and Kenya, and collaborating on engagements reaching into North America. Comfortable across time zones, handoffs and cultures, and used to being the person who keeps the build moving while half the team sleeps.

Overlap windows with EAT, EST & PST — reliably.
