Top SchoolKeith Ott is a Senior Software Engineer with 17 years of hands-on experience building and modernizing mission-critical web and microservice systems, currently contributing to Atlassian after leading backend and frontend efforts at Amazon. He blends deep full-stack skills (C#, .NET, Java, Python, TypeScript/Angular) with proven delivery experience in cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure) and CI/CD pipelines. Known for taking ownership of difficult migrations and stack upgrades, he led successful modernization efforts that improved seller satisfaction by over 30% and rescued stalled projects. A pragmatic leader and mentor, he has repeatedly moved teams toward modern practices—introducing React, .NET Core, automated testing, and deployment—while keeping a strong operational focus as an on-call and incident liaison. Based in Oak Creek, WI, he pairs clear communication with a knack for finding practical, cost-saving solutions (for example, a migration that saved six-figure annual analytics costs), and maintains a personal site detailing his background and work.
