👋 Hi there, I'm Amare Kassa

I’m a Software Developer and Data Scientist passionate about solving real-world problems through AI, FinTech, and scalable web applications. With a strong foundation in Computer Science and Engineering, I transitioned from academia to full-time development, contributing to 40+ web development projects and 11+ AI/ML projects, both in team-based and solo settings.

I'm currently looking for remote or on-site opportunities in AI/ML Engineering or Full-Stack Development. I’ve completed over 40 front-end and back-end projects using technologies like JavaScript, React, Redux, Python, Django, and Rails. In addition, I’ve developed more than 11 AI/ML projects, particularly focused on FinTech applications, utilizing tools such as NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, and TensorFlow/Keras.

🔧 Technologies & Tools

Languages & Frameworks:
C, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, SQL, HTML5, CSS3
Front-End: React, Redux, Bootstrap
Back-End: Django, Rails, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
AI/ML/Data Science: NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow/Keras, Matplotlib, Seaborn, FastAPI, Flask
