About Kinetic

Built for data that can't fail.

Kinetic is a Data & AI engineering firm for high-stakes operations. We build the applied-AI platforms and the data engineering underneath them, for healthcare, global health, and enterprise. A team of more than 40, founded in 2016, with 200-plus projects behind us.

Why teams trust us

Built for continental complexity. Ready for enterprise scale.

UNHCR & ARRA

For UNHCR's One Stop Shop refugee program, we built the registration and case management system that ARRA and UNHCR run their services on. It has carried more than 2 million refugees from paper files to verified digital records, in field conditions where connectivity comes and goes.

Africa CDC

The Continental Public Health Data Intelligence Platform we engineered for Africa CDC securely unifies surveillance data across 55 African Union Member States through a standardized, federated, and governed architecture.

When you've solved complexity at this scale, enterprise transformation becomes a natural extension.

Who you work with

Senior team. Enterprise scale.

Kinetic is a team of more than 40 engineers, analysts, and delivery leads, partnered with ETM Software. We've shipped 200-plus projects since 2016 and run enterprise programs end to end: data platforms, applied AI, and the governance and security that regulated organizations require. Senior people lead the work and stay on it.

Mikiyas Amdu
Co-founder & CEO · Dallas, TX

Mikiyas leads Kinetic and its engineering. For a decade he's taken data and AI platforms from first commit to production for governments, multilaterals, and large enterprises across four continents. He sets the architecture and the standards the team builds to, and he's as comfortable in the boardroom as in the codebase.

Sosena Terefe
Co-founder & COO · Dallas, TX

Sosena runs delivery and operations from Dallas. She came up as an engineer, so the bar she holds teams to is a technical one, and she's built the governance and process that let Kinetic deliver for regulated, audit-heavy organizations.

Point of view

Opinions we're willing to defend.

Ten years of building data systems teaches you what the decks leave out. These are the ones we bring to every project, unless you talk us out of them.

01

Quality is enforced at ingestion.

Validation, normalization, and anomaly checks belong at the edge, not buried in a dashboard formula three layers downstream.

02

Data stays with its owner.

Federation beats centralization when trust is on the line. Sharing should be intentional and permissioned, not a side effect of where you stored something.

03

Schemas evolve, pipelines shouldn't break.

Real data models change every quarter. The systems we ship expect it, with version-controlled schemas and backward-compatible contracts.

04

Own the stack end to end.

From intake to interface, one team. No handoffs, no finger-pointing, no one to blame but us.
