Learning logic. Documenting process. Becoming eminent.

I'm a Software Engineering student at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University, usually found somewhere between the logic of Python for Data Science and the craft of Kotlin for Android. Right now, I'm obsessed with the 'why' behind the code through sharpening my DSA skills and figuring out how to build apps that don't just work, but actually feel right to use. I'm a big believer in building from the ground up and finding my own way to solve real-world problems with a bit of creativity.
