Emanda Hailu Hunde
AI Researcher, Full-Stack Developer, and University Lecturer based in Addis Ababa. Building intelligent systems at the intersection of machine learning and software engineering.
About
Building the future with AI and code
I'm a Lecturer at Addis Ababa University and an AI Researcher at Resonance AI for Development Lab. I teach undergraduate AI students about Robotics using Robot Operating System, and research continual learning algorithms and AI applications for judicial systems.
With a B.Sc. in Software Engineering (3.85 GPA, Dean's List) and an ongoing M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence at Addis Ababa University, I combine strong academic foundations with hands-on industry experience spanning full-stack development, ML research, and education.
I've also volunteered extensively—teaching 200+ students programming through 4H Ethiopia, and mentoring aspiring developers through Google Developers Group.
