Hi there! I'm **Dagmawi Mekonnen**, a software developer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I'm passionate about technology, open knowledge, and contributing to the Wikipedia community. I enjoy exploring new ideas and sharing what I learn with others.
- **Expand Ethiopian Content**: Improve and create articles related to Ethiopia to enhance global understanding of our culture and history.
- **Community Building**: Foster a supportive environment for new and existing contributors in Ethiopia.
- **Continuous Learning**: Stay curious and keep expanding my knowledge across various subjects.
I'm currently working on the Ethiopian National ID project, FaydaID, where we aim to develop a secure and efficient identification system. My focus is on leveraging technology to create solutions that have a positive impact on society.
In 2023, I co-founded the **[Wikimedia User Group Ethiopia](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_User_Group_Ethiopia)**. Our mission is to promote free knowledge and support Wikimedia projects in Ethiopia. Recently, I participated in **[WikiIndaba 2024](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2024)** in South Africa, connecting with fellow Wikimedians across Africa.
