From Code to Calling: My Journey So Far (Part 1) Last year, I graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Addis Ababa University — a proud moment that marked the beginning of a whole new chapter in my life. Not long after, I was lucky enough to land a job as a Fullstack Developer at hellobalemuya.com. That moment felt like a win, and I was ready to give it everything I had. Since then, it's been a whirlwind. I’ve worked on real-life projects, solved bugs at 2AM, led teams, and pushed out features that thousands now use. Alongside my full-time work, I also dove into side projects — some just for the love of learning, others as freelance gigs to sharpen my skills even further. Now I’m nearly two years in, with experience in both remote and on-site roles. I’ve grown so much, technically and personally. But if there's one thing I've consistently struggled with... it's sales. Yep, not coding, not deadlines — selling what I build. You can create the most amazing app, with elegant design and powerful features, but if you can’t explain it clearly and sell the value to someone who’s supposed to use it or invest in it — it can feel like all that effort just vanishes into thin air. I’m known at the office as someone who works hard (shout out to my awesome workmates for always noticing 👊🏾), but I’ve also been told — quite a few times — that I’m underpaid for what I do. And honestly? I feel it. Not because I want to complain, but because deep down, I know I just haven’t figured out how to confidently ask for what I deserve. I get stuck wondering, “How do I even start convincing someone to value what I’ve built?” Still, I keep going. I keep building. Because at the end of the day, my love for creating beautiful, useful, and meaningful things always takes over. I often forget to chase payment because I'm too focused on the passion I have for the project in front of me. But hey — I’m learning. Growing. Reflecting. This is just the beginning of what I hope will be a series of honest thoughts I’ll share with you. Maybe you’re also in tech, freelancing, building, or just figuring things out like me. I’d love to connect, hear your story, and grow together. To be continued...
