Hello, I'm
Abubeker Afdel.
A product engineer who likes understanding why something should exist, then getting close enough to the code to build it well.
I work across product direction, UI/UX, and full-stack delivery. My engineering roots are in backend development, so I care about the APIs, data models, failure cases, and architecture that make a product dependable after the interface ships.
Today I help shape products at ISNAAD, run product and delivery at Fawz IT Solutions, and contribute as a backend-heavy full-stack developer at Tenamart. I studied both Business Administration and Information Systems, which is probably why I keep moving between the user question and the implementation detail.
Based in Addis Ababa, working remotely. Currently open to product engineering and product-focused opportunities.
