Meet Hiwot “Hiwi” Woldeyohannes, a passionate and dedicated Software Development Engineer at Amazon. After finishing her BA degree in Software Engineering at AAU, Hiwot worked in various local companies until she went to the States to continue her education. She joined Maharishi University for her Master's degree in computer science.
She then worked in various roles, including a Full Stack Developer for Ford Motor Company and a contractor for Creospan, Inc., a consultancy firm based in Illinois. She has also worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield and Northern Trust Bank clients.
Hiwi’s dream has always been to land a role at a FAANG company, not just for herself, but to inspire tech workers in her community back in Ethiopia. Her journey from Ethiopia to the tech industry in the U.S. is a story of perseverance, passion, and the power of education.
