Abdullahi Mohamud Ahmed
7+ years designing, building, and owning critical enterprise systems for businesses, clinics, and hospitals. I build resilient software engineered for demanding, low-resource environments where failure is not an option.
Who I Am & How I Work
Full-stack software engineer and data analyst with 7+ years designing, building, and owning enterprise systems end to end: architecture, database design, backend, frontend, and deployment, in Somalia, where infrastructure is scarce, requirements are demanding, and the margin for error is zero.
As Software Director at SOSTEC Technologies, I designed and built a two-part merchandise-and-clinical ERP, including an integrated hospital management system, an unalterable double-entry accounting engine, and telecom SMS and WhatsApp Business APIs.
I also own and operate two live commercial products: Kaad PMS (multi-tenant real-estate management SaaS) and EventSom (invoicing and payment automation). Both are free to try.
In academic research, I lead Qaamuuska-NLP, a structured computational lexicon of 46,000+ entries extracted from the largest Somali dictionary using Python NLP pipelines. The methodology paper was produced with OgaalLabs and is published on Research Square.
I hold a BSc in Statistics & Planning from SIMAD University, alongside professional certifications from Google, Meta, Oracle, and Udacity.
