ENGINEER. COLLABORATOR. BUILDER.

Egnuma.

ONE PERSON.
THE WHOLE
PICTURE.

I connect the thinking, the interface, and the engineering—so a good idea becomes something people can actually use.

I’m a full-stack product engineer with 4+ years of experience across web, mobile, ERP, and learning platforms. I work from Addis Ababa and have collaborated remotely with teams in Ethiopia and the United States.

My studio is personal: you work directly with the person designing the solution and writing the code. From the first conversation to the next release, I stay close to the details.
