Objective

A passionate software engineer who finds joy in witnessing the tangible impact of his work. I'm driven by the ever-evolving nature of software engineering, constantly seeking to stay ahead by mastering the latest technologies and developments. Growing up in a small village in Ethiopia, I faced many challenges on my educational journey, but persevered to join Addis Ababa Science and Technology University to become a software engineer. I aim to solve the Educational barrier in Africa through technology and innovation.
