As a dedicated Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineer, I, Mohammed Masreshawu Tesema, have cultivated a profound commitment to advancing sustainable water management practices in Ethiopia. My journey began in Woldiya, where my early education sparked a curiosity about the crucial role water plays in our lives and the environment. This passion led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering at Bahir Dar University, where I honed my technical skills and deepened my understanding of water systems. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in both irrigation network construction and municipal water projects. My role as an Irrigation Network Construction and Supervised Engineer at Ambasel Wereda Agriculture Office allowed me to develop essential engineering calculations and design drawings using advanced software like AutoCAD and Civil 3D. I thrived in collaborative environments, assisting clients with permitting and inspections, and ensuring that projects adhered to regulatory standards. Currently, as a Water Engineer with the Addis Ababa Water and Sewage Authority, I have taken on leadership responsibilities, overseeing construction projects and coordinating with engineers, contractors, and regulatory agencies to ensure the successful implementation of municipal water systems. This role has not only enhanced my technical expertise but also improved my problem-solving abilities as I work to resolve water distribution issues and enhance customer satisfaction. My proficiency in software tools, including GIS and Bentley Water GEMS, complements my engineering skills, allowing me to analyze data effectively and design innovative solutions. I am fluent in both Amharic and English, enabling me to communicate effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am deeply invested in continuous learning and self-improvement. I enjoy reading, watching films, and engaging in discussions that broaden my perspective. I aspire to further my education in water resources and irrigation engineering, civil engineering, and urban planning, as I believe that advancing my knowledge will empower me to contribute even more significantly to Ethiopia’s development. As I continue on this path, I am eager to embrace new challenges and opportunities that will allow me to make a lasting impact in the field of water resources engineering. I am committed to becoming a knowledgeable and professional individual who can contribute to sustainable development and improve the quality of life for communities across Ethiopia.
