Negassa Berhanu

Software Developer

Hello there! My name is Negassa and I am a software engineer with a strong background in Linux system administration, DevOps, and backend development. I enjoy building tools and automating workflows. With a sharp focus on efficiency and simplicity, I strive to write code that is maintainable and effective. I enjoy creating dope things that live on computers, local or remote. My interest in computers started wayback when I was a 9 year old and my father brought home a heavy laptop. I tried to type my name on there and the moment I pressed N and I saw it on the screen I was hooked. There was no looking back from there on.
