I'm an AI Enthusiast
About
Welcome! I’m Edom Belayneh, an international student from Ethiopia majoring in Computer Science. My journey brought me to the United States through the prestigious Centralis Scholarship awarded by CMU.
Currently, I am a Software Engineering Resident at Headstarter AI and a Student Tech at Media Services at CMU. I’m deeply fascinated by AI and machine learning and enjoy diving into the innovative possibilities they offer. I’m all about leveraging technology to make a meaningful impact and fostering a sense of community, especially for women and minorities in tech. My love for mentorship and helping others grow probably comes from my “older sister energy”—I can’t help but cheer people on and celebrate their wins! 😊 I thrive in diverse groups because different perspectives always spark the best ideas, and I genuinely enjoy caring for people and watching them flourish.
Aspiring Software & AI Engineer.
