About

A multidisciplinary engineer with a strong electrical engineering background and a graduate degree in computer science. Earned over 8 years of experience programming in Python for IoT automation, back-end developmenet, data clensing, wrangling and visualization to mention few. Having worked across various roles in engineering and IT in the U.S., Germany, and Ethiopia, developed a unique combination of technical depth and adaptability to tackle any challange.

Pragmatic, a clear communicator, and always learning. I enjoy working in collaborative environments and building solutions that deliver real value.

Data Engineering :

Experienced in building fully automated ETL (Extract–Transform–Load) pipelines on AWS using Python, MQTT, Databricks, AWS S3, DynamoDB, and more — transforming raw, multi-source, multi-format data into a centralized source of truth (master data) that delivers up-to-date insights the moment new data arrives. These pipelines power business-critical dashboards in Power BI and Grafana, enabling organizations to make faster, data-driven decisions, reduce manual reporting, cut operational costs, and eliminate waste.

PLC and HMI :

Hands-on experience with CODESYS and PLCs (IDEC and Allen-Bradley), developing both control logic with structured text (ST), ladder logic (LD) and Human Machine Interface (HMI) for Industrial and Building Automation Systems (BAS). Built solutions for soft starters (e.g., star–delta), VRF systems, lighting control, HVAC, water tower automation, and other applications, reliably controlling field devices over protocols like Modbus TCP, EtherCAT, and various OEM communication interfaces.
