Regarding his educational journey, Tesfay holds a Bachelor's degree in Environment and Health, with a minor in Health Science and Health Geography, from Western University in London, Ontario, Canada.

Before becoming a boss of his own, Tesfay worked at various institutions including Reliance Home Comfort, Western University at which he graduated, and the University of Rwanda.

Tesfay is a Rotarian. When he moved to Kigali in 2021 after completing his studies, he joined the Rotary Club of Kigali Virunga where he actively plays his part in the club's initiatives.

He is currently working closely with the Ministry of Health to set up a Tele-mental health line for Rwandans.

In an interview with The New Times, the techpreneur said, "My love for Rwanda and my fiancée motivates my anticipation of becoming a Rwandan citizen."
