I'm in Addis, where inertia keeps me rooted.
Where I Work
I work at Abet Labs, its an outsourcing company, one of the very few that operate with a license. Joining Abet Labs has been an eye-opening experience for me. From day one, I realized this company truly believes in the potential of Ethiopian talent. It’s clear that with the right structure, clarity, and expectations, Abet empowers its engineers and accountants to deliver work that matches global standards.
What stands out is how seriously everyone here takes professionalism and accountability. They’re deeply embedded in the company’s culture. I’ve seen how much respect Tigabu Haile shows his team and how he is about operating with integrity.

I'm worked at Eagle Lion, for 4 month, I led the charge on adding observability for most popular microservices. It's given us a super clear view into how a we can trace service to service communication, all while sticking to Ethiopia's strict banking rules.
My work there basically revolves around collecting and digging into system data, writing documentations and handling monitoring setups that can scale in an on prem environment.
It's great, getting to build and roll out stuff that keeps tabs on performance, catches errors, and tracks activity in these spread out microservices; making sure our logging and monitoring play nice with the banks standards, like secure audit trails; deploying and keeping tools running in a flexible, container-based cloud world; blending data into analytics for insights you can actually use; teaming up with devs and ops folks to make everything more reliable and easier to watch; and jotting down how tos while showing the team the ropes on best practices and tools.
All this taps into my toolkit with Open Telemetry, Jaeger, Prometheus.io, Victoria Metrics, Clickhouse with Grafana, Loki with Elastic Search, and Dyantrace these backends really help wrangle messy systems into something you can actually see and trust.

YeneHealth is such a dynamic and supportive company is. It’s a place where talent is recognized and stretched across multiple roles, from full-stack development to quality assurance and even DevOps. My supervisors Mickyas Habte aka Shaggy, and Kidist Tesfaye took such great care of the project.
The technical challenges here are exciting and meaningful. I’ve learned how scalable systems are built and maintained, from sophisticated inventory management tools to multi-channel payment and notification services that serve a growing user base. YeneHealth values practical and elegant solutions that balance innovation with reliability.
What really makes YeneHealth stand out is its commitment to quality and continuous improvement. From structured test plans to managing full release cycles and implementing CI/CD pipelines, the team’s focus on delivering stable, fast updates shows the high standards they uphold.
What I loved most about YeneHealth, beyond the technical work, is its culture that encourages embracing challenges with curiosity and perseverance.
