Summary
Kowser Kassa is a bilingual (Arabic, Tigrinya) HR professional and JavaScript-trained developer with eight years of experience blending people operations and technical problem-solving across corporate and nonprofit settings in Bellevue, WA. Currently a Human Resources Coordinator at GardaWorld, he has a track record in talent acquisition, HR coordination, and recruitment at organizations from Nordstrom to LIHI and Secure Ride. His background includes hands-on software experience—Code Fellows-trained in full‑stack JavaScript, a Microsoft software engineering internship focused on SQL and automation, and leading TA duties that involved code review and course management. Kowser applies a root-cause approach to both process and technical challenges, favoring durable solutions over quick fixes. He advocates for diverse perspectives to drive innovation and brings that mindset to hiring, onboarding, and cross-functional collaboration. Less obvious: he pairs HR strategy with practical technical fluency, enabling smoother integrations between people systems and engineering teams.
