IT & application support, data & business analyst

For five years I kept a bank's head office running — servers, Active Directory, ERP access for 500+ users, incidents. Now I am finishing a Master MIAGE 2IS in Toulouse and doing the same job from the other side: reading what systems report, and building the tools that act on it.

Between the systems and the business

Support taught me how systems fail in practice. The master's taught me how to measure it. The two answer the same question from opposite ends.

At Commercial Bank of Ethiopia I spent five years on the side of the work nobody sees until it breaks: keeping infrastructure available across the bank's head office, administering domain servers and Active Directory, managing ERP access for 500+ users, and closing level 1 and 2 incidents at around 50 tickets a week. Regulated environment, where uptime and access control are not optional.

That work is where the interest came from. You cannot fix a process you cannot see, and most of what I have built since is some version of making a process visible — mining crisis-response logs for the real bottleneck, putting ten years of air quality readings into dashboards, streaming sensor telemetry into Grafana, or synchronising a shop's till with its storefront.

I am finishing a Master MIAGE 2IS at Université Toulouse Capitole while completing an internship where I designed and built a commerce platform end to end. I work in English and French, and I am open to relocating.
