About
Growing up in Hawassa, Ethiopia, my passion for gaming sparked an early fascination with technology, which has since evolved into a focused interest in AI. Currently, I am part of the RAIL Lab, where I focus on safe reinforcement learning, aiming to contribute positively to advancements in the field and the intersection of technology and society.
