I'm Creative Full stack developer based in Washington, USA
I hold a BA in Sociology from Gondar University (2011) and a Master's in Social Work from Joptahe International College (2017). After working in community-focused roles, I transitioned into web development to combine my problem-solving skills with technology. I completed an intensive 6-month full‑stack bootcamp at Evangadi where I trained extensively in modern web development practices.
I'm a full‑stack developer based in Washington, USA. I build responsive, accessible applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern stacks built around Express, React and Node. I work primarily with relational databases such as MySQL (in addition to Firebase), use Git/GitHub for version control, and follow Agile workflows. I enjoy turning product ideas into production-ready code and collaborating with teams to deliver value.
