Career Profile
I’m a graduate student in Computer Science at Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!!). I’m interested in the intersection of Computer Science and Psychology and how we can build software tools that assist users, specifically software developers, powered by insight from psychology.
Experiences
As IT expert in The Integrated Land Management Project (ILMP) project my responsibility was to conduct an assessment of existing and upcoming Land Information Systems (LIS) and project. I was also tasked with providing strategic recommendations.
I worked on the National Rural Land Information System (NRLAIS) developed for the Ministry of Agriculture, Ethiopia. My responsibilities include developing components of the system and overseeing the overall direction of the system as it evolves over time.
In addition to working as a tech lead, I design the CI/CD and Azure based deployment environment ( Azure App Service, Keyvault, Cosmos DB, Azure Functions, VMs etc..).
As a software developer I built the systematic registration software (MASSREG) which was later integrated into the National Rural Land Information System (NRLAIS). I also developed an interim Woreda Rural Land Administration Information System (iWORLAIS) which served as an interim solution until NRLAIS was ready.
