You could say I'm quite committed to the place I cherish as Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is where I was born, raised, and currently call home. I'm a foodie who loves to work out at the gym. I'm an enthusiastic, lifelong learner who is active in my community and uses technology to push for justice in our unjust world.

I'm a techie with an in-depth understanding of web3, crypto, and data engineering. I spend the majority of my days either developing for the next web or designing robust data pipelines. I've long been captivated by Python and JavaScript, and I can't help but be drawn to the ecosystems that surround them.

I'm currently a web3, data, and machine learning engineering mentor at 10 Academy, a non-profit organization, for brilliant African minds. Prior to that, I spearheaded the launch of a crypto startup from its ideation stage and was able to put on more hats than one can count. I have also had a great deal of experience working on initiatives that find data-driven solutions for societal and commercial issues, and I've previously held data science internship and apprenticeship positions at Microsoft 4Afrika.

Although I have had a brief but interesting career, I can't state with certainty that I know what works. However, I do know what doesn't work, which is, in my opinion, a very very strong thing.
