Top SchoolFitsum Alemu is a Software Engineer and Technical Lead with 10 years’ experience designing and delivering full-stack, production-ready systems from Addis Ababa. He combines hands-on development in Python, JavaScript and C# with a focus on developer tooling, CI/CD, containerized environments and observable, testable architectures. Fitsum has led projects across startups, consultancy and academia—teaching software engineering while building automation, workflow orchestration, and API-driven backends using .NET, Nest/Django/FastAPI and React/Angular. He repeatedly prioritizes the “glue”: structured logging, testing harnesses, deployment workflows and cost-aware observability for reliable operations. Currently exploring LLM-based agents and orchestration, he brings an uncommon mix of research-oriented thinking (MSc in Computer Science) and practical experience shipping client-facing products on Upwork and enterprise systems. Open to roles that span full stack delivery and the infrastructure that makes teams faster and safer.
