01The gap
Most Ethiopian merchants run their business across disconnected tools: paper ledgers, Telegram and TikTok messages, cash registers and informal delivery.

Axova brings selling, payments, delivery, compliance and business intelligence into one platform, built for local languages, local regulations and local infrastructure.

Technology
Engineering
The engineering
system that I use.
A modern, AI-augmented engineering system I use to build the ventures — from architecture to deployment, with AI as a multiplier and human judgment at every gate.
Principle
AI-augmented engineering
Operating principle
AI is integrated into my development workflow as an engineering multiplier, not a replacement for engineering judgment.
Area 01 / 08Architecture & system planning
- AI does
- Drafts architecture options and maps the trade-offs between them.
- I keep
- Chooses the design and owns how the system fits together.

Markets
Financial markets trader
I trade gold (XAUUSD)
on auction & order flow.
Trading is not a side interest. It is years of disciplined, curriculum-driven practice, begun at fifteen and focused on gold and institutional order-flow concepts. It shapes how every company decision gets made.
01 ·THE FOUNDATION
Markets are auctions
I read price as a continuous auction: it moves to discover fair value, and every trade is buyers and sellers negotiating it.
02 ·THE READ
Value and imbalance
I look for where price is accepted and where it is rejected. Imbalance shows who is in control before the move happens.
03 ·THE TRAP
Inducement
Markets bait traders with obvious moves to pull them in early. I wait for the trap to spring and let others take the bait.
04 ·THE EDGE
It shapes my ventures
The same patience runs my companies: read the structure, avoid the obvious trap, and size risk before acting.
