Hey, I'm Nathnael.
I build products that matter. 6 years shipping products that reach millions of people through WHO, UNICEF, and various organizations working in the global south. React, TypeScript, and Elixir LiveView are my tools, but the real work is understanding what people need and crafting experiences that just work.
Currently at Turn.io, previously helped IDEO untangle years of digital complexity by leading a full overhaul of their content and infrastructure systems. When I'm not writing code, I'm mapping out Addis Ababa for travelers, experimenting with drinks, or getting lost in geopolitics and Dota 2. Always learning, always building.
