01About
Michael Zewdu, working

A career built at the seam between business and technology - from operations and sales, into data, and now into building the platforms that carry Ethiopia's financial technology forward.

Michael began in general operations, sales, and procurement - supervising workshop performance and partner communications at Tsion Industrial Engineering and Metal Work Enterprise. That foundation in how a business actually runs still shapes how he approaches every technical decision today.

The move into data came deliberately: first as a Data Sourcing Specialist at Kifiya Financial Technology, leading multi-sector data collection and applying Python-based analysis to real business questions, then training formally in ML engineering and data analysis through 10 Academy. He now works as Platform Manager at Kifiya, overseeing platform stability, partner onboarding, and the compliance work that keeps a financial platform trustworthy.

“Transforming data into insight, bridging technology and business strategy.”
