Django Developer
I build production-grade backends — authentication systems, REST APIs, real-time features, and relational data models designed to hold up under real usage.

Clean Code
My name is Worku Wondoson Mengste. I'm a Software Engineering student focused on full-stack web development with Django, Python, JavaScript, React, and SQL databases. I build independent projects — real-time chat over WebSockets, streaming AI responses, background task processing, and search infrastructure — because I want to understand systems well enough to make deliberate tradeoffs.

My strongest work includes an e-learning platform with live chat and an AI study assistant, an e-commerce system with Stripe payments and Celery-driven order processing, and a blog platform with PostgreSQL trigram search and an AI chat assistant. Across all of them, I care about clean data modeling, maintainable Django app structure, and backend decisions I can actually explain and defend.
I'm currently studying at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University in Ethiopia, combining coursework with sustained project work outside the classroom. I'm drawn to the parts of backend engineering most people skip — query optimization, background job design, real-time architecture — and I'm actively looking for junior developer roles, internships, and collaborative projects where that kind of depth is valued.
