Nebiyou Hailemariam

is a software engineer,
machine learning engineer, and
researcher.

I'm currently working as an AI Software Engineer at Motive, a car dealership platform serving millions of users, where I build recommendation systems and conversational AI systems.

I enjoy working on machine learning problems that have real business impact, from recommendation systems to natural language processing.

I'm particularly interested in building scalable software systems that use AI, with a focus on custom recommendation systems and graph machine learning. I also enjoy working on deploying models to production, monitoring, and testing software systems using the Arrange–Act–Assert pattern.

I'm a Toptal-accepted engineer, having passed their rigorous screening process — only 3% of applicants pass their screening.
