If “atypical background for dev work” has you intrigued, prepare to remain intrigued. Karen Klassen has joined Zeitspace as a software engineer, and has dropped that tantalizing hint of her interests in the answers that she provided in reposes to our usual questions. Make of that what you will…
I’ve always been interested in programming and solving problems using code, so software development seemed like a good fit. I have an atypical background for dev work and if you’re interested, feel free to ask me more about it!

I would definitely recommend rock climbing. I started rock climbing about a year ago, and I go about twice a week. I think it’s a great physical activity, but also a great problem-solving challenge. It’s all about how to use your strengths to get up the wall. I find it very rewarding.

I have a cat named Kya.
