Backend & Systems Engineer
Building the hidden framework
of software.
I'm Yididya — a self-taught engineer based in Addis Ababa with 3+ years building production systems. I design scalable databases, backend APIs, and automation tools that power real applications. My philosophy: design systems that require no attention, they quietly serve as dependable tools.
Background
I started coding in 2022 and quickly found my passion in backend engineering — the invisible plumbing that makes software work at scale. Since then I've shipped over 10 production systems as an employee and freelancer across Ethiopia, from event ticketing platforms to financial tools and school management systems.
I work primarily with Django and FastAPI on the backend, Next.js on the frontend, Flutter for Mobile Apps and PostgreSQL + Redis for data. I care deeply about clean architecture, reliable APIs, and systems easy to maintain long-term.
What I build
Backend APIs & microservices, database design & optimization, Telegram bots & automation workflows, full-stack web apps, and mobile apps with Flutter.
How I work
I take ownership from spec to deployment. I communicate clearly, deliver on time, and write code that the next engineer can actually read.
