I was born Mekdes in Harar, Ethiopia, either in 1992 (Gregorian calendar) or 2000 (Ethiopian calendar). My mother, Azeb Getahun, and father, Bogale Lema, raised me alongside my younger sister. Most of my childhood was spent in Harar, with a brief year in Asebe Teferi. For my education, I attended Chiro Middle School, Harar Senior Secondary School, and finally Aboker Preparatory School. By the grace of God, I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University.

Academic background: Mechanical Engineering
