It's Bereket โ a full-stack developer
Full-Stack Developer with a B.Sc. in Computer Science, currently shipping production features at Safaricom Ethiopia on platforms serving millions of users. Built a real-time pharmacy management system solo โ from schema to deployment โ and an internal observability dashboard tracking 2,000+ daily API calls. Proficient across the MERN/PERN stack with TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, and Redis. Strengthened algorithmic foundations through A2SV's Google-backed DSA program, solving 300+ problems.
1+ years shipping ยท 5+ projects delivered
Median Lighthouse performance across the production sites I ship.


I build production-grade systems end-to-end โ from schema and API design to accessible, performant front-ends that hold up at scale.
I work closely with teams and clients, pairing engineering rigor with product thinking to turn fuzzy ideas into shipped, reliable software.
โ Experiences
Over the past 1+ years I've worked across startups and product teams โ building and shipping production systems end to end, from architecture to deploy.
Book A Call โWorked at one of Ethiopia's largest telecom companies, building and maintaining the API infrastructure that powers tens of thousands of daily requests. Implemented circuit breakers and auto-scaling to keep services running under load, modernized legacy integrations that were silently causing data sync failures, and helped the platform consistently hit sub-100ms response times under concurrent traffic.
Led engineering on Eshi-Tap, a fintech platform securing $500K+ monthly transaction volume. Cut API response times by 85% through Redis caching, unified APIs across three frontend teams, and established the kind of authentication and payment security infrastructure that lets a product scale without keeping engineers up at night. Wore multiple hats โ developer, scrum master, and team lead โ across a fast-moving six-month build.
oined as an intern and shipped a production ERP platform within four months that went on to serve 15+ enterprise clients. Automated payroll workflows that cut processing time from 16 hours to 3, and architected a HansaWorld ERP integration handling 10,000+ transactions without data loss. The kind of internship where you stop being an intern pretty quickly.
Sharpening algorithmic thinking through 300+ competitive programming challenges while applying those same optimization patterns to real production systems. Contributed to a culture of engineering excellence by pioneering a code review framework that cut defects across the team and eliminated performance bottlenecks that were quietly costing query speed and memory.
โ Testimonials
Recommendations and notes from colleagues and clients โ the kind of signal that doesn't fit in a rรฉsumรฉ line.
I had the pleasure of working with Bereket during his time at Safaricom Ethiopia, and he stood out from day one. What impressed me most wasn't just his technical ability โ it was his ownership mentality. He didn't wait to be told what to do; he identified problems, proposed solutions, and shipped them. Bereket played a key role in maintaining and scaling our API infrastructure handling tens of thousands of daily requests. He brought a level of discipline to the codebase that made the whole team's work cleaner and more reliable. For someone at his stage of career, the maturity he showed in high-pressure situations was genuinely rare. I'd work with him again without hesitation, and I have no doubt he'll be a strong asset to any engineering team he joins
