As a passionate software engineering student, I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and apply my skills to real-world problems. My academic journey has provided me with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design principles. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to learn from experienced professionals.
My interests lie in full-stack development, machine learning, and cloud computing. I believe in writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code, and I am committed to continuous improvement. Outside of coding, I enjoy exploring new technologies, listening to educational and science videos (Veritasium,Vsauce,3Blue1Brown), and contributing to open-source projects.

"...As Product Manager, I had the privilege of working closely with Jiru on the Company Website Redesign project, where he served as a Backend Web Developer. Jiru quickly distinguished himself through his unique attributes. He takes initiative and suggested using React for the project. He handles project requirements carefully, delivers timely updates, and is a team player. His performance during the internship was marked by strong collaboration with peers, proficiency in the React framework, and a solid understanding of backend workflows. I am confident that Jiru Gutema will excel in any backend web development role he pursues. His initiative, careful handling of requirements, timely updates, and teamwork skills will make him a valuable asset to any team. I wholeheartedly recommend him and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again."
