CTO at Pazimo

I build things that work, then make them better.

I'm Kaleab, a self-taught software engineer from Addis Ababa, writing code since 2022. Today I'm CTO and solo engineer at Pazimo, responsible for its ticketing website and both phone apps, from first design to launch.

Alongside that, I'm studying engineering at Addis Ababa University, and care most about the small details that make an app feel easy to use.
