As a Software Engineering major, I specialize in data handling, visualization, and machine learning model development. I am an active learner and collaborator, currently leading AI projects as a community leader for Omdena Ethiopia. My passion lies in building innovative AI/ML solutions, underpinned by a solid foundation in software engineering. My experience as a data analyst and AI Engineer intern has allowed me to tackle challenges such as AI Document Analysis, Prompt Engineering, and Language Model Learning (LLMs). I have also honed my skills in data cleaning and preparation. I now apply my skills and knowledge as an AI programmer, where I continue to grow and contribute to the field.
