I'm a builder obsessed with the intersection of taste and technical rigor.
Based in Addis Ababa, I partner with founders, product teams, and creative studios to craft flagship digital experiences. I thrive where narrative, motion, and engineering collide—delivering work that feels inevitable and undeniably premium.
Whether it's shipping v1 for a venture-backed startup or scaling a design system for an enterprise platform, I show up with a high-energy blend of curiosity, systems thinking, and pixel obsession.
