Hi, my name is
Esrom Tekle.
I build scalable cloud solutions.
Software Engineer specializing in C# .NET, Azure Cloud, and enterprise automation. Recently delivered a $280K annual savings security automation system at Alaska Airlines, validated by Principal Engineers.
About Me
Hello! I'm Esrom, a Software Engineer with a passion for building systems that deliver measurable business impact. My journey into tech started three years ago when I moved to the US with a finance background—now I combine that business acumen with deep technical expertise in cloud architecture and automation.
At Alaska Airlines, I worked on the Mileage Plan Platform team where I designed and deployed production systems processing hundreds of thousands of transactions. My biggest achievement was building an Automated Security Patching System that received validation from two Principal Engineers and has the potential to save $2.24M annually if deployed organization-wide.
As a Year Up United graduate (top 10% performance), I learned C# .NET from scratch and quickly progressed to leading complex technical stories, serving as Scrum Master, and delivering production-quality enterprise solutions.
