About

Data Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — with an interdisciplinary background in Electronics & Communication Engineering and Computer Science.

Overview

I'm a data scientist and machine-learning engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience. I started out as a Python developer and grew into roles focused on data, machine learning, and technical leadership.

I hold a dual-major bachelor's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering from Adama Science and Technology University (ASTU), graduating with top honors (CGPA 3.98/4.00, Gold Medalist). I also earned an M.Sc. in Electronics Engineering from ASTU, finishing at the top of my class (CGPA 4.00/4.00, University Topper).

My work blends AI/ML, software engineering, and hardware/embedded systems—backed by a strong competitive programming foundation. I focus on building practical, high-impact solutions and leading teams to deliver them.
