05 — About Me
Who I Am
Hi, I'm Girma Wakeyo—a software developer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I love turning complex problems into fast, reliable systems, focusing mostly on backend architecture and full-stack apps using Python and Go.
Right now, I'm wrapping up my Computer Science degree at ASTU while taking on freelance projects. It's a great balance that lets me bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world, production-ready code.
