01 / what i do
The full stack of an AI product.
RAG and agentic systems
Retrieval pipelines and multi-step agent workflows that hold up in production, built with LangChain, LangGraph, FastAPI, vLLM, and Qdrant.
AI-native frontends
Streaming interfaces that make model output feel instant, from SignalR token streams to optimistic UI, in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
NLP for low-resource languages
Custom hate-speech and misinformation detection models for Amharic and other Ethiopian languages, a space where off-the-shelf models fail.
02 / the pipeline
How an AI feature ships.
The same path runs under everything I build, from TravelColombia.ai to the logistics RAG engine at Adilas Tech. Data in, grounded answer out, streamed into an interface that keeps up.

The stack I reach for.
05 / career
Where I have been.
AdilasTech
Nov 2025 - Present
Senior Software Engineer, AI and Frontend Lead
Onsite, Addis Ababa · US company, Virginia HQ
Took a logistics platform from no AI capability to a live streaming assistant, and set the reference architecture the engineering team now builds against.
ai · ml
- Built the company's first production LLM inference stack: a FastAPI and vLLM service handling concurrent token generation, serving several hundred concurrent requests at peak.
frontend
- Architected the real-time streaming interface: a React client consuming the inference API over SignalR, with token-by-token rendering, scroll anchoring, request cancellation, and recovery from partial or failed streams.
both
- Established the concurrency, backpressure, and error-recovery patterns now standard across every AI feature in the product.

Senior Software Engineer
Remote, Coimbatore, India
Led delivery across 10+ client products collectively supporting 100,000+ monthly sessions.
ai · ml
- Led LLM integration across 10+ client products, delivering structured extraction, summarization, and conversational agents on shared internal patterns that cut AI integration time on new projects from weeks to days.
frontend
- Led frontend development for 10+ client products in Next.js and React, spanning data-heavy dashboards, multi-tenant platforms, and AI-driven tools.
both
- Owned deployment on AWS with Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD, automating Jest and Cypress runs, type checks, linting, and preview deployments across a distributed team.
Adotsense
May 2021 - Nov 2024
Machine Learning Engineer and R&D Lead

Led R&D for hate-speech and misinformation detection in languages with no usable pretrained baselines.
ai · ml
- Led R&D for hate-speech and misinformation detection in Amharic, Afaan Oromo, and Tigrinya, owning the full lifecycle from dataset construction through production deployment.
frontend
- Built and owned the complete React frontend for the internal ML analysis platform, giving researchers interactive visualization of model outputs over large, noisy datasets with D3.js and Recharts.
both
- Used engagement analytics and A/B testing to direct training data selection and public-facing component decisions, contributing to a 170% increase in traffic over six months.
Maed Technologies
Dec 2019 - May 2021
Software Developer
Remote, Debre Birhan
Shipped two products for a university campus, both grounded in direct user research.
frontend
- Launched a cross-platform Flutter app for campus navigation and real-time announcements, reaching 2,000+ active users in its first year.
both
- Conducted requirements research with 250 university students and translated the findings into the prioritized specification and information architecture for both products.
