About

Building things that hold up under real use

I'm a full-stack developer and aspiring ML engineer who cares deeply about shipping software that is secure, fast, and genuinely useful — not just demo-ready.

Currently studying Computer Science at Ambo University while co-founding Go2Cod, a tech community that gives student developers real internship-style experience.
