I am a software developer, security researcher and a digital evangelist who loves to use technology for God’s glory. I was born in Hagereselam, Ethiopia, in 1992, and moved to Yirgalem with my family. I grew up in Yirgalem, a beautiful and peaceful town surrounded by nature.
I finished my elementary school at Yirgalem Mekane Yesus Elementary and High School, where I learned the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. I also learned about the Christian faith and values from my teachers and friends. I finished my preparatory class at Yirgalem High School, where I studied hard and prepared for the national exam.
I was passionate about tech, so I applied for electrical and computer engineering at Hawassa University, and I was admitted in 2011. I gained a solid foundation in mathematics, physics, electronics, and programming. I specialized in computer engineering, where I learned more advanced topics. I graduated in 2016, and received a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering.
I was exposed to digital evangelism when I was on campus, and I joined the Great Commission Ministry of Ethiopia (GCME), also known as Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), as an intern. I worked as an application developer, where I developed mobile and web applications for various ministry projects and programs. I also learned about the vision and mission of GCME, which is to help fulfill the Great Commission by building spiritual movements everywhere.
I joined GCME as a staff in 2016, and since then I have been serving as an application developer, social media manager, coach for interns, website developer, and now I am leading the Products Team. I work on developing and maintaining various digital products and platforms that can help spread the gospel and disciple people online.
I enjoy working on creative and impactful projects that can reach millions of people with the message of hope and love. I also like to collaborate with other developers and evangelists who share the same vision and passion. I am always learning new things and improving my skills in this field. I am also working as a security analyst to strengthen the security of our systems.
I am an active member of my local church Mekane Yesus Church Addis Ababa Bole Congregation, where I serve in various ministries such as music ministry, youth ministry, choir ministry, worship ministry.
My goal is to become a successful software developer, security analyst and digital evangelist who can create and secure innovative solutions for the kingdom of God.
