What it's like to go from coding in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Y-Combinator to a seed round in San Francisco

* **Description:** working on a side project, Bereket was looking for a tool to manage user authentication, couldn't find anything that gave him what he needed, so he built it from scratch, and ultimately shared a typescript-based framework on GitHub that now has over 1.7m weekly downloads. As a developer committed to open source projects, Bereket will share some insights into his journey thus far.
* **Bio:** Bereket is a self-taught software engineer from Ethiopia, passionate about open source projects, and currently founder of open source framework Better Auth.
