Anani Samuel Biratu.

Software engineer building things people actually use.

I'm a software engineer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I graduated from Addis Ababa University in 2023 with a B.Sc. in Computer Science (3.52 GPA), and I've spent the years since building real products with real users.

At Manifest Automation, I work full-stack on consumer apps that ship to global audiences. With the team, I contributed across the stack on Magic Santa — the React Native app (iOS + Android), the Django backend, the ElevenLabs voice integration, and the marketing site — which launched in November 2025 and reached a 4.9-star App Store rating with 650+ reviews in its first two months. On CrossTalk — an AI Bible study platform with 100,000+ users across 190 countries — I contributed to the React Native mobile app (iOS + Android), shipped the Fruit of the Spirit spiritual survey on the web, and led SEO and analytics work.

At ACE Investment and Impact Advisors, I'm the solo developer behind a suite of production platforms — including ASAP, a Next.js + Supabase application platform for an SME accelerator program targeting 200+ women-led Ethiopian businesses over the next five years.

Outside of work, I'm a partner on PERIM — a team venture combining advertising and city information on interactive screens, where I contribute on full-stack engineering and design — and side projects like Gebeta, a digital revival of the traditional Ethiopian mancala game with a custom AI engine. I also placed 3rd at the NASA International Space Apps Challenge for an open-source JunoCAM image-processing tool.

I'm looking for remote engineering opportunities — full-time roles or freelance projects — where I can keep shipping work that matters.
