I'm Kidus. Over the last nine years I've built medical records, banking systems, and ad trackers, so odds are I've handled your health, your money, or your attention at some point. Sorry about the last one.
Lately, I've been exploring AI tools for human-agent software development, especially systems that function like factories for agent-written code.
Open source · 2026 — present
"Intent on paper, agents on the line, and every merge remembers why."
A software factory for agent-written code. Conveyor queues work through planning, implementation, review, and verification, links every change back to a confirmed requirement, and flags deliveries that drift from the design.
Senior Go Engineer · 2024 — present
Core Go backend for a high-throughput campaign tracking and attribution platform.
Campaign tracking and attribution for performance and affiliate marketers, handling millions of tracking events a month behind a globally distributed redirect edge. I led a zero-downtime migration of the production asset store from Google Datastore to SingleStore, quadrupled event-pipeline throughput by batching Kafka writes, and cut asset-store costs roughly in half with a redesigned cache.
Lead Software Engineer · 2023 — 2024
Integration layer connecting Ethiopia's six largest banks to AI-powered credit scoring.
Digital lending infrastructure for Ethiopia: alternative-data credit scoring and a decision engine that let banks lend to people traditional models can't score. I led the four-person team behind the integration layer, the APIs, SDKs, and apps through which the banks plug into the platform, which has since facilitated billions of birr in loans.
Co-founder · 2018 — 2023
Co-founded an electronic medical record system that has served hundreds of thousands of patients.
A FHIR- and DICOM-compliant EMR I co-founded and led product and engineering for. Adopted by three healthcare providers, it has served hundreds of thousands of patients and close to a million appointments.
Core Go backend for a high-throughput campaign tracking and attribution platform.
Led the integration team connecting Ethiopia's largest banks to AI-powered credit scoring.
Co-founded a healthcare technology startup and led product and engineering for its EMR platform.
Built full-stack features for a national transport management system covering driver licensing, insurance, and assessments.
Shipped web and mobile applications for clients including the Red Cross Society, and wrote a hashing-based audio similarity algorithm for ad-tracking software.
