Experience
Ambassador
Cyfrin Updraft
Remote
I contributed to the expansion of Cyfrinʼs ecosystem by driving content-led growth and developer engagement around the Updraft platform. Through the creation of high-signal technical content, strategic distribution across Web3 channels, and backlink acquisition, I increased platform visibility and supported developer onboarding. Operating in a results-driven bounty system, I delivered measurable impact across user growth, engagement, and community reach.
Team Lead & Co-Founder
Build a DAO Ethiopia (BaD Ethiopia)
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
I spearheaded a national initiative to onboard over 500 developers into the Web3 space, leading workshops across local universities both in-person and virtually. As part of this effort, I also launched our first University blockchain focused club and a DAO laying the foundation for a nationally recognized ecosystem of student-led Organization.
Ambassador
KRNL Labs
Remote
I represented KRNL at national blockchain events, where I conducted virtual workshops introducing university students to the KRNL ecosystem and broader Web3 concepts.
Resident
ETH-iopia Residency Program
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
I participated in an intensive Web3 residency program, where I presented my project Delalaw a decentralized real estate escrow system at ETH-iopia. The experience provided valuable feedback from industry mentors and peers, and I went on to secure second place in the hackathon by presenting Transfund.
Fellow
Dev3pack
Remote
Selected for training in Ethereum Ecosystem and smart contract architecture. and participated in hackathon and open source contribution with other fellows.
Blockchain Developer
RWA Inc.
Remote
Prototyped a simple ERC-20 token contract for a fictional RWA use case (e.g., tokenized real estate share), including full documentation of the setup process and deployment in a GitHub repository. Implemented advanced smart contract features such as upgradable proxies for RWA INCʼs token and fractional ownership logic. Led code reviews and mentored junior developers on smart contract development fundamentals.
Student Ambassador
Xerxis
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Empowered students with valuable skill in Web3 Space through educational initiatives. Translated Solidity documentation into Amharic in collaboration with 5+ contributors on the Xerxis space, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and accessibility for Ethiopian developers. In parallel, I created tailored educational content for Ethiopian student developers through Xerxis, helping local talent get hands-on with decentralized tools, protocols, and emerging tech trends.
Education
Addis Ababa Science & Technology University
Bachelor of Electromechanical Engineering
Skills
Projects
WarpWrap
a mini application that curates and aggregates trending content from Farcaster using the OpenCast API. The platform processes and filters on-chain social data to deliver weekly insights, enabling users to discover high-signal posts within the Web3 ecosystem. Built with a focus on performance and usability, the application demonstrates end-to-end development from API integration to deployment.
Debroker(Delalaw)
is a Decentralized escrow and dispute resolution protocol for real estate transactions, designed for use in emerging markets. it enables property buyers and sellers to transact safely without third-party intermediaries by automating escrow logic, reputation tracking, and dispute escalation on Ethereum.
Solidity Documentation Localization
I contributed to the localization of Solidity documentation, making core smart contract resources more accessible to non-English-speaking developers. This effort involved translating and adapting technical content while preserving accuracy and clarity, supporting broader participation in the blockchain developer ecosystem.
