About Me
I came to the United States from Ethiopia with a dream — a dream built on perseverance, faith, and the belief that hard work can turn possibilities into reality. My journey began with humble beginnings, driving a taxi to make ends meet, while dedicating countless nights to studying and building a new life through education and technology.
Through determination and discipline, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer and Information Sciences, transforming my passion for technology into a meaningful career. Today, I am an IT Professional specializing in Cybersecurity, Cloud Solutions, and Technical Support. My work focuses on delivering secure, efficient, and innovative technology solutions that empower organizations to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
