13+ years architecting and delivering national-scale systems, digital health platforms, and data-driven decision-support systems for the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, international NGOs, and private healthcare providers across Ethiopia and globally.
13+ years architecting and delivering national-scale systems, digital health platforms, and data-driven decision-support systems for the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, international NGOs, and private healthcare providers across Ethiopia and globally.
I lead the Information Systems & Digital Health unit at MERQ Consultancy, managing a 15-person team and a $1.2M portfolio across 9+ concurrent projects. From the Ethiopian Ministry of Health's national HISPMD (68 indicators, 200+ policy makers) to the DHIS2-integrated HEAT+ equity toolkit and the Digital Bridge to Zero Dose initiative, I architect systems that turn fragmented data into live, evidence-driven decisions.
Promoted from Senior Engineer to Unit Manager within the same organization, I combine deep health-information standards expertise (FHIR, HL7, HIPAA), cloud-native architecture, and full-stack engineering with proven organizational leadership.
From interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, DHIS2) to cloud-native DevOps and analytics pipelines — engineered for national scale.
Cloud-native infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines across AWS, Azure, GCP and DigitalOcean — Docker/Kubernetes orchestration, Infrastructure-as-Code, and observability.
Enterprise architecture, procurement leadership (ToRs, tenders, vendor management), data governance, cybersecurity, and capacity-building for digital transformation programs.
End-to-end data pipelines, warehousing, and BI visualization — Kafka/RabbitMQ streaming, ETL, and real-time analytics dashboards in D3.js, Tableau, Power BI and Superset.
National-scale digital health platforms built on interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, DHIS2). From EMR/EHR systems to M&E dashboards and health equity toolkits for ministries and NGOs.
Production-grade web, mobile, and API systems using Next.js, React, Node.js, Python/FastAPI, and Flutter — with OCR/OMR engines, microservices, and ERP integrations.
A dynamic collage of national-scale digital health, data, and infrastructure platforms — filter by industry, year, or stack.
A repeatable delivery lifecycle honed across ministries, NGOs, and healthcare providers.
Stakeholder co-design, M&E framework mapping, and interoperability audits against FHIR, HL7 & DHIS2 standards.
Cloud-native system design with IaC (Terraform), data models, API contracts, and security/HIPAA compliance planning.
Full-stack engineering, CI/CD pipelines, ETL/data pipelines, and OCR/OMR or mobile (Flutter) integrations.
Containerized deployments (Docker/K8s), capacity-building programs, and rolled-out training for ministry & field officers.
Observability (Prometheus/Grafana), disaster recovery, and continuous performance monitoring for live national systems.
