Portfolio: sura.work
I build intelligent products and the systems that keep them running — high-performance APIs, RAG and LLM features, async pipelines, and cloud infrastructure on AWS. Most of my work lives in FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery, but I also ship cross-platform mobile apps with React Native when the product needs to reach people on their phones.
I care about clean API design, reliable infrastructure, and code that holds up under real load. I've shipped things like ShalaAI (an AI travel companion for Ethiopia), multi-tenant marketplaces, booking platforms, and AI-powered education tools — always from concept to production.
ShalaAI – AI-Powered Local Travel Companion
An AI-powered local travel companion for Ethiopia, built as a React Native + Expo mobile app with a FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL, Qdrant vector search, and RAG-powered travel intelligence.
