About

A short journey, told visually.

From my first lines of HTML to building full-stack applications and exploring machine learning — this is how I got here and where I'm heading.

2022
Student
Started my Software Engineering journey at Addis Ababa University, curious about how technology and the web work.
2023
Frontend Development
Fell in love with React, TypeScript, and modern UI design. Built interfaces that were fast, clean, and intentional.
2024
Full-Stack Development
Expanded into Node.js, databases, and cloud technologies. Started building complete applications from frontend to backend.
2025
Machine Learning
Started exploring Machine Learning, from data processing and classical models to deep learning.
Now
Software Development + ML
Currently focused on Full-Stack Development while continuously advancing my Machine Learning skills and exploring how to integrate ML into real-world software.
