For Ethiopian New Graduates & Youth: Defining ICT (Infrastructure) Roles in the Market Place!

      Caption: Google. 👉   If you are like me, read this piece. The schools I went for did not prepare me well for jobs. Over the years, I have to learn everything by myself and the hard way. Over the last few years, I have the pleasure of working with new employees and mentor interns as part of my current role and I came to learn that much has not changed at schools since I left.   Hoping it will help new graduates clarify the job roles and expectation in the industry and tailor their approach to prepare well advance, let me briefly clarify the roles and expertise required in the ICT sector. Bear in mind that this advice focuses more on the infrastructure aspect as opposed to applications. As you know it, business is multidimensional and usually multiple disciplines are needed to run it effectively. For now, I will narrowly focus more on the technology part. Technology itself covers many product lines and evolves quickly and I will approach the subjec...

Drink the Last Beer: Based On True story

Phot credit @google By any measure, Ethiopia is a big country be it historical, Natural resource, population wise, geographically or in whatever measure we take in. Sometimes, it is hard to accept the country stays poor (material wise) given the huge potential we sit on. Labor (a fraction of 100 million people), resource (Land, water) and capital , essentially driven from the first two, are the three most important factors required for development, and we have enough of them.  Yet, we remained at the rock bottom in the development ranking. Why?   For example, we proudly claim (rightly so) that Ethiopia is among the top tourism destinations but tourism's contribution to the country's GDP is well below the figure in neighboring Kenya. Given its history, there is no doubt that there happen to be foreigners, intellectuals, who explored the country upside down and understands it well more than the nationals think we know our country and ourselves.   There is no quest...

Together is Better, If We Mean to Succeed: Project Experience Sharing

              Note: This article was selected and published in Huawei People Megazine in 2017, 3 years after I joined Huawei.  It was Award Winning. I hope you draw a lesson.  As Heny Ford once said,  Coming together is the beginning, keeping together is progress, working   together is success. Had you not been thrilled when someone a few inches away from you sent you a message through espace(Huawei messaging platform) while it was easier to utter a word directly on to you? About three years ago, soon after I joined Huawei, I was so frustrated and I just believed that it would be hardly easy to close the cultural differences between us. Sooner than I expected, though, it started vanishing to the surprise of my own eyes. Highligting the callenges of project handover At Huawei, I have been involved in many tasks but my significant contribution goes to OPGW (National Grid Infrastructure Development) project of EEPC (Ethiopian Elec...

How to Solve Problems, From an Inventor With 200+ Patents

Sacha Vega/TED Robert Fischell invented the rechargeable pacemaker and the implantable insulin pump — not to mention helped create the precursor to GPS. The 87-year-old shares a peek into his creative process. Perhaps you have a family member who’s alive because of a flexible coronary stent. Or a friend who manages her diabetes with an implantable insulin pump. Or, even more likely, maybe today you used an app on your smartphone to get directions, plotted with the help of GPS. Related Read: Aligning Ethiopian Energy Markets for Innovation and More Jobs If any of the above is true, you can thank Robert Fischell, intrepid inventor and  winner of the 2005 TED Prize . A longtime satellite engineer, Fischell helped create a key antecedent to GPS before turning his attention to medical devices in the 1970s. Today, he holds more than 200 patents in the US, from the implantable cardiac defibrillator to  SpringTMS , a device recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of migrai...
