About Me

Hello! I'm Dagmawi Wegayehu, a Computer Science graduate from Addis Ababa University, specializing in Backend Software Engineering. I have a combined 5 years of hands-on experience in web development and game development.

My journey began with a childhood fascination with games, which led me to wonder how they were made. This curiosity inspired me to pursue Computer Science, where I eventually discovered my passion for software engineering. Today, I specialize in developing effective software solutions that address real-world problems.
