Hi, I'm Alferid Hassen.
I build mobile apps that feel tactile and web systems that hold up.
Software engineer based in Addis Ababa. I spend most of my days in Flutter and the TypeScript/Node ecosystem. From publishing debt-tracking apps on Google Play to building commodity distribution systems for city sub-districts, I care about smooth 60fps gestures, offline-first reliability, and writing code that stays clear months after shipping.
Experience & Education
Real systems built for real operations — from municipal commodity logistics to published apps on Google Play.
Work Experience
Full Stack Web & Mobile App Developer
Engineered full-stack solutions and cross-platform mobile applications for public distribution systems and enterprise resource workflows.
- Architected and deployed the Bole Public Commodity Distribution web platform using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js).
- Developed and published a companion cross-platform mobile app using Flutter & Dart for real-time inventory tracking and delivery confirmation.
- Optimized back-end databases and query pipelines, significantly improving API response times and cache efficiency.
- Built clean, modular UI components with responsive mobile-first layouts.
Education & Credentials

Featured Projects
A collection of apps and systems I've built, deployed, and handed over to users.

A specialized mobile inventory application designed for oil distribution tracking, real-time transaction logging, and automated consumption analytics.
Beyond the Code
What keeps me grounded and sharp when the laptop screen closes.
Chess
3D PIECE LIVEI play because every mistake is entirely your own. Calculating variations under time pressure and staying calm when the board gets chaotic is surprisingly similar to debugging tricky race conditions.
Gym & Training
When your entire workday happens inside abstract logic and text files, lifting heavy things is the most honest physical reset button there is. It clears the brain and keeps my stamina high for long coding stretches.
Let's build something together.
I'm open to full-time software engineering roles and select contract work. If you're building a product, hiring for an engineering team, or want to talk Flutter and web architecture, drop a message below or reach out directly.
