Atnatewos Hailealem

AI/ML Engineer

Hi, I'm Atnatewos. I build full-stack systems, AI/ML applications, and open source software, with a focus on crafting experiences that feel right down to the details. I currently work at the intersection of symbolic AI and deep learning.

For the past 3 years, I've been working across the TypeScript and Python ecosystems, from performance-critical backends to production RAG pipelines.

Outside of work, I ship independent projects like pyrpc, the type-safe framework for Python backends and TypeScript frontends. I've also worked with local clients and on international projects through the full cycle: ideation, design, development, devops, deployment, and scaling.

Find me on GitHub, LinkedIn, or send me an email.
