Hi, I’m Dagim.
Turning complex ideas into thoughtful digital experiences. Exploring the intersection of AI, systems, and the things we use every day.
01 / SELECTED WORK
A few explorations in software,
intelligence, and better experiences.
A better road to
your next car.
A private-party car marketplace built from the ground up. Fast search, map-first discovery, and trust at the center of the experience.
Data & architecture15+ runtime tables and 23+ indexes supporting listings, conversations, verification, moderation, and audit logs.
Trust & securityAI-assisted vehicle verification with S3 and OpenAI vision, OAuth, role-based access, rate limiting, and session revocation.
SYSTEMS PROJECT / DECEMBER 2025
A distributed order system with independently deployable Node.js services, separate SQLite databases, HTTP communication, and fault isolation. Tested with Jest and shipped through GitHub Actions to AWS.

02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE
I’m Dagim Tibebeselassie, a Computer Science student at Georgia Tech and the founder of Kerodex. I’m drawn to the space where thoughtful design meets challenging engineering.
From robotic research interfaces to a car marketplace, I enjoy taking an idea apart, understanding how it works, and building something useful from it.

CLOUD & INFRASTRUCTURE
AWS infrastructure is a core part of my work: compute, object storage, identity, networking, and relational databases.
$ aws s3 ls s3://vehicle-uploads/ # Object storage for vehicle verification media
In Kerodex: S3-backed uploads and vehicle verification. In distributed systems: AWS deployment and automated delivery.
