Full-Stack MERN Developer & AI Specialist | React · Node.js · MongoDB | MSc Project Management | 6+ Years Experience | Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute
I am a Full-Stack Web Developer and AI specialist based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with 6+ years of professional experience delivering clean, scalable, and high-performance web applications. I specialize in the MERN stack — MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js — and have real institutional experience working at the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute and the Ethiopian Technology & Innovation Institute, where I built and maintained professional-grade systems in the information and communication sector.
My academic background sets me apart from most developers — I hold an MSc in Project Management from Lunar International College and a BSc in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Bahir Dar University, which means I combine deep technical skills with strong planning, communication, and on-time delivery. I also completed advanced Full-Stack Application Development training at Evangadi Tech, focusing on modern MERN stack development at EQF Level 5.
My core services include full-stack web application development, REST API design and integration, MongoDB and SQL database architecture, responsive React.js frontends, JWT authentication systems, AI model integration, data annotation, and technical project management. I am a native Amharic speaker with advanced English proficiency (C1/C2 level), making me effective with both local Ethiopian clients and international teams. I respond fast, communicate clearly, and do not close a project until my client is fully satisfied.
Work Terms
I am available full-time and respond to messages within a few hours during East Africa Time (GMT+3) business hours. I prefer to discuss project requirements in detail before work begins so I can provide an accurate timeline and price. For hourly contracts I provide regular progress updates and am happy to share work-in-progress at any stage. For fixed-price projects I deliver in clear milestones with client review at each stage. I offer revisions until the deliverable fully meets the agreed requirements. Payment is processed through the platform only — I do not accept or request payment outside the platform. I take on one to three projects at a time to ensure every client receives focused attention and high-quality output. Long-term contracts and ongoing maintenance work are welcome and preferred.
