Dagim G. Astatkie

I'm the guy who automates a 10-minute job in 2 days, builds apps to solve my own irritating problems, and loves getting lost in the world of mathematics. As a curious and innovative software engineer, I thrive on finding novel solutions to challenges that go beyond just writing code.

I'm passionate about exploring new technologies, breaking down complex problems, and discovering creative solutions that often exceed expectations. My approach combines technical skills with out-of-the-box thinking to deliver unique and effective results.

    • Payment integration (Telebirr USSD) with unit tests using Vitest
    • Financial dashboards for invoicing, revenue tracking, and entity-level analytics
