I build backends the business can't afford to have break.
For the past 7 years I've shipped production systems in regulated, high-stakes environments — a national telecom's voice platform carrying 100M+ calls a month, bank's public infrastructure, a HIPAA-aware US adoption platform, an AI product-discovery engine on AWS serverless.
What I actually do: backend APIs and data pipelines, AWS serverless architecture, multi-tenant SaaS, voice/telecom integrations, and the unglamorous work of making things faster, cheaper, and more reliable — 25% AWS savings here, a 20s query down to under 1s there.
I'm founder and Lead Developer at Snapwre, where I set engineering standards across 10+ teams. founded Dataset.ET to build AI training data for 80+ Ethiopian languages, and co-founded Dev Meetup Ethiopia — now one of the country's largest dev communities. I mentor through https://t.me/chapidevtalks (9,000+ developers on Telegram, 120+ mentees through the program).
