Quick Info
About Me
Hi, I'm Kani Ahmed, a senior at Case Western Reserve University passionate about backend development, DevOps, cloud computing, and big data technologies. I enjoy building systems that not only work efficiently but also help solve real-world problems. Whether it's developing scalable backend architectures or managing cloud infrastructure, I enjoy diving into complex projects and finding the most effective solutions.
Through my experience in both academic coursework and personal projects, I've honed my skills in backend development by seeing projects through the entire software development lifecycle. From designing scalable architectures to implementing automation and optimizing performance, I've worked on creating reliable, fault-tolerant systems that meet real-world demands.
Beyond the technical side, I find fulfillment in helping others, whether it's through mentoring, working alongside teammates, or developing leadership skills through student organizations. I also enjoy playing soccer, which helps me build teamwork and resilience, both on and off the field.
