Yordanos Kebede Kassa

I am a C.I.S. student with a passion for crafting impactful tech. I thrive on turning ideas into reality, quickly.

Currently building Inclusign: A Tool that translates Spoken/Written English to American Sign Language avatars.

I am flexible with most major tech-stacks like React, NextJS and I often use FastAPI for projects that use native ML functions.
