I'm a full-stack developer and AI/ML engineer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
I build production web applications and applied machine learning systems. My full-stack work focuses on backend systems, data-driven applications, and clear user experiences. In AI/ML, I work with retrieval-augmented generation, computer vision, predictive coding, and neural networks implemented from first principles.
I'm currently an AI/ML Intern at iCog Labs, working on applied research involving RAG systems, predictive coding networks, YOLOv8 object detection, category theory, and probabilistic logic networks.
I design and build whatever I can imagine.
| Project | Description | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi Pay | An offline-first Android app for Ethiopian taxi drivers that auto-captures teleBirr SMS payments, tracks cash fares and fuel expenses, and shows daily/weekly/monthly earnings dashboards — no backend, no cloud. | Flutter, Dart, SQLite |
| Bello Restaurant Menu & Delivery | A production restaurant web application focused on an accessible menu and ordering experience. | Full-Stack, Web |
| PPE Detection with YOLOv8 | Detects workers and verifies required safety equipment using a model trained on a Roboflow dataset. | Python, YOLOv8, Computer Vision |
| Traffic Accident Neural Network Classifier | Classifies traffic accident types using cleaned and engineered real-world data. | Python, Neural Networks, scikit-learn |
| RAG + Ragas Evaluation Pipeline | A modular RAG pipeline built with LangChain and evaluated with Ragas and Mistral AI models. | Python, LangChain, Ragas |
| FreshCart | A grocery delivery platform connecting customers with nearby supermarkets. | Spring Boot, REST API, Web, React |
| BookShare | A platform for uploading, searching, sharing, and downloading books and PDF files. | JavaScript, Full-Stack |
