Employment
Experience
- Social Network App for Professionalshttp://github.com/kuwrom/Mahder
Written in Kotlin, Mahder was a project for a social networking app. I was the Android developer, and in my role, I was able to implement all the requirements that a social networking app must have. It used Firebase as a back end, and it was open-sourced in early 2019.
- Food Delivery Apphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.habeshastudio.fooddelivery&hl=en_ZA&gl=US
Driven by a complex algorithm in the back end, Dine is a simple-to-use food delivery app I developed for a startup company in Addis Ababa. It features location-based filtered restaurants and a complete food ordering and tracking system.
- Audio Streaming App
Flutter-based audio streaming and podcast app used by thousands of users. I was a Flutter developer primarily focused on the back end and bloc-related parts of the project. I collaborated with other developers to implement and improve the data model, data flow, and efficiency of the code.
