About Me Proactive and Problem solver Software Engineer

Get to know me!

Hey there! I'm Yohans Hailu Kasaw, and I absolutely love building things with code. I've spent the last four years as a Software Engineer, creating all sorts of exciting web applications. You know that feeling when you solve a really tricky puzzle? That's what drew me to programming in the first place, and it's what keeps me excited about my work every single day.

My journey started at Addis Ababa University, where I earned my Computer Engineering degree with a pretty awesome GPA of 3.79. But what really kicked things into high gear was my time at Africa to Silicon Valley (A2SV). There, I dove deep into the world of competitive programming, solving over 1,000 algorithmic challenges and ranking in the top 2.5% on LeetCode and Codeforces. Not to brag, but that was pretty fun!

These days, I'm working at OwlBox AI in Boston, where I'm leading the development of this really cool AI-driven video annotation platform. We're using all sorts of modern tech like React, Next.js, and TypeScript to make it happen. Before this, I was the Head of Education and Software Engineer at A2SV, where I got to work on some amazing projects like HakimHub and RateEat. Think social media meets healthcare, and a food delivery system that's changing the game in Ethiopia.

I'm pretty comfortable with a whole toolkit of technologies - from Python and JavaScript to cloud services and DevOps practices. But what really gets me excited is using these tools to solve real-world problems. Whether it's optimizing a database to run 23% faster or building a payment system that makes life easier for people back home in Ethiopia, I'm always up for a challenge. Want to chat about tech, collaborate on a project, or just geek out about coding? I'd love to connect!
