About Keyse A.

Hi, my name is Keyse Ahmed, and I’m a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Software Engineering from the University of Washington Bothell. I’m currently enrolled in the AWS re/Start program through Per Scholas, where I’m receiving in-depth training in cloud foundations, Linux, networking, Python programming, databases, AWS architecture, systems operations, security, tooling and automation, serverless computing, and more. This immersive program has allowed me to complete nearly 300 labs, giving me hands-on expertise with AWS services like IAM, EC2, S3, Lambda, and Docker, while strengthening my understanding of broader cloud computing concepts.I’ve also gained hands-on experience in full-stack development during my internship at Amazon, where I designed and deployed a message exchange application using React, TypeScript, AWS cloud technologies, and MongoDB. My technical background includes programming in Python, C++, and Java, as well as working with cloud platforms, DevOps tools, and agile methodologies.I’m passionate about using my skills to solve complex problems in cloud engineering, DevOps, and software development, and I’m excited to contribute to impactful projects within your company. I’d love to stay connected and explore how I can add value to your team. Could you share what specific skills and qualities your company values most in candidates for roles in these areas?
