Nigussie Dessalegn

I am a Full-Stack Web Developer and AI specialist based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with 6+ years of professional experience delivering clean, scalable, and high-performance web applications. I specialize in the MERN stack — MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js — and have real institutional experience working at the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute and the Ethiopian Technology & Innovation Institute, where I built and maintained professional-grade systems in the information and communication sector. My academic background sets me apart from most developers — I hold an MSc in Project Management from Lunar International College and a BSc in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Bahir Dar University, which means I combine deep technical skills with strong planning, communication, and on-time delivery. I also completed advanced Full-Stack Application Development training at Evangadi Tech, focusing on modern MERN stack development at EQF Level 5. My core services include full-stack web application development, REST API design and integration, MongoDB and SQL database architecture, responsive React.js frontends, JWT authentication systems, AI model integration, data annotation, and technical project management. I am a native Amharic speaker with advanced English proficiency (C1/C2 level), making me effective with both local Ethiopian clients and international teams. I respond fast, communicate clearly, and do not close a project until my client is fully satisfied.
