Amen Abatemam — Software Engineer

I am an Innovative Full-Stack Engineer and Technical Team Lead with over 4 years of experience building scalable, secure, and high-performance systems. My career is defined by a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams and delivering production-grade solutions across diverse domains, including web applications, APIs, and complex AI-driven platforms. Key Areas of Expertise and Impact 1. AI/LLM-Driven Systems & Automation: My specialization lies in AI-Driven Development. I design clean, maintainable architectures and integrate advanced systems, specifically focusing on two core areas: AI Agents: I build intelligent automation tools using agents, leveraging LangChain and LangGraph for advanced control flow and orchestration. This includes developing custom MCP Servers to connect internal tools with LLMs and facilitate AI-assisted business operations. RAG Pipelines: I engineer Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to process data like candidate matching and company information. This involves generating embeddings using OpenAI's text-embedding-3 model and storing them in Milvus vector storage for fast semantic and keyword retrieval. Tools: Proficient in LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and FastAPI. 2. Full-Stack Development: As a full-stack engineer, I combine DevOps practices with frontend and backend expertise to deliver resilient, data-driven platforms. Backend & API: Architecting high-performance backends using Laravel, Node.js (Express.js), and FastAPI. Experience includes optimizing APIs with Redis caching and implementing secure authentication. Frontend: Leading development using React (Next.js), leveraging SSR, ISR, and component optimization (e.g., useMemo, memo) to ensure optimal performance and SEO. DevOps: Experience with Docker, Cloudflare, CI/CD (Github actions), and monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana. 3. Technical Leadership & Mentorship: I have served as a Team Lead on major projects, responsible for the entire project lifecycle—from system architecture design to production. This includes: Strategic Oversight: Designing scalable and maintainable software architecture and database structures. Team Management: Managing and mentoring developers across frontend, backend, and DevOps disciplines. Project Delivery: Successfully managing high-traffic platforms like the Application Tracking System (ATS) and Ethiojobs/Dereja/Kipawa. I am passionate about building sophisticated solutions and look forward to connecting with opportunities to drive technical innovation and lead engineering excellence.

Currently operating as a Senior Software Developer, Team Lead, and AI Developer, I specialize in architecting and delivering advanced, production-ready systems, with a strong focus on AI-driven automation. I manage the entire software development lifecycle, from system design to deployment, while leading and mentoring development teams.
Key Achievements:
Full-Stack Platform Leadership: Led the development of a production-ready Learning and Freelancer Platform, overseeing the entire lifecycle from initial concept to launch. This included designing the system architecture and robust database schemas, and providing technical leadership to both the frontend and backend development teams to ensure successful, on-time deployment.
High-Performance & Secure Architecture (Sub-200ms Latency): Engineered the backend (using Laravel) to achieve ultra-low latency (below 200ms) by implementing Laravel Octane for performance acceleration. This was combined with Redis for robust caching and session management, and multiple queue workers for high-throughput asynchronous job processing. Secured the application using industry-standard measures, including CSRF tokens, secure cookies, and comprehensive session management.
AI Automation: Built complex AI automation tools, including RAG pipelines, intelligent agents, and web scrapers, utilizing LangChain, LangGraph, Open AI Agents, and Milvus.
Clean Architecture: Applied clean architecture principles, including the Repository Pattern, to effectively separate business logic from data dependencies. Designed highly scalable and maintainable API systems (FastAPI, Node.js and laravel), ensuring rapid development and robust integration.
Performance Engineering: Engineered high-performance scraping workflows that extracted thousands of data points through asynchronous concurrent execution, optimizing both depth-first and binary depth-first search strategies.
