01 / what i do
The full stack of an AI product.
01
RAG and agentic systems
Retrieval pipelines and multi-step agent workflows that hold up in production, built with LangChain, LangGraph, FastAPI, vLLM, and Qdrant.
02
AI-native frontends
Streaming interfaces that make model output feel instant, from SignalR token streams to optimistic UI, in React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
03
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.
03 / selected work
Work that shipped.
04 / toolkit
The stack I reach for.
05 / career
Where I have been.
Nov 2025 - Present
AI and Frontend Lead · Senior AI/ML Engineer
Adilas Tech
Leading AI development on a logistics platform: an end-to-end streaming RAG application that connects a React and SignalR frontend to a high-throughput FastAPI inference engine running vLLM, with asynchronous retrieval over Qdrant and a hybrid strategy that routes queries between self-hosted models and GPT-4o.
Nov 2024 - Jul 2025
Senior Software Engineer
SkyHigh Cloud
Led frontend development across 10+ international client projects serving 100,000+ combined monthly sessions. Integrated LLM features with the Gemini API and Vercel AI SDK, lifting user engagement by 25 percent, and cut ML query latency by 40 percent by redesigning backend data retrieval.
May 2021 - Nov 2024
Senior Software Engineer · ML Engineer
AdotSense Digital
Trained TensorFlow text-classification models for misinformation detection and built custom NLP models for hate-speech detection in Amharic and other low-resource Ethiopian languages. Also built the React platform researchers used to explore model outputs, and drove a 170 percent traffic increase through analytics-led iteration.
Dec 2019 - May 2021
Founder · Software Engineer
Ma'ed Technologies
Founded a campus-focused startup. Launched a Flutter app that reached 2,000+ active users in its first year and built a university procurement web application that cut manual workflows by 65 percent, shaped by 250+ user research sessions.
