Sample of my work(s) ...

Build a community through your stories.

Built a storytelling platform because Google Docs group edits were starting to look like a war crime.

Start tracking your progress to grow your business.

Designed an actually-good ATS for Ethiopia, then watched the subscription model ghost us like a bad Tinder date.

LiftLink: Enhance the Luxury Evolution.

Fixed valet handoffs so people stop playing “Guess Who Dented My Car?” every weekend.

Find Your Dream Home Today.

Dragged Ethiopian real estate out of WhatsApp chaos and into something that doesn’t scream 1998.

With Wadaage share Infinitely.

Gave a Nostr client the UX equivalent of a shower, haircut, and therapy session.

Meet Ms. Saba, your AI tutor.

Built an AI study buddy that yells practice questions harder than your panic 5 minutes before finals.
