  • About me, the 2024 professional version

My intro on the AnitaB group

Hi! My name is Kris (I go by KB at work cuz there are so many Kris’s LOL) and I live in Minnesota, north of the Twin Cities.
I’m a senior software developer and I’ve been coding C# professionally since 2006 (but I was self-taught html in the 90s)
My job went away in 2022, I got this job at a great company in Boston that truly supports personal and professional development which is how I found out about Anita B
After attending a virtual meeting earlier this year, I met Tasha, whose enthusiasm pulled me in and made me realize that even I could make a difference, so now I’m learning how to be a volunteer.
I’m still in the early stages of volunteering and I definitely cannot do it alone, but hopefully we can get more people interested  and active in the Twin Cities area.
At this point in my career, I’m trying to figure out where to go from here. My goals to start with are a mixture of coding and management eventually moving into all management but still continuing to code for fun. (Cuz I really love to code)
I have a 23 year old son who is getting married in June and I’m so excited for him and I love my future daughter-in-law and hopefully in a few years I will even be a gramma! My son just graduated from KSU College of Engineering last spring. So proud of him!
I have a very supportive husband, a needy big dog and feral kitties to keep the mice away since we live out in the country. My internet could be better but otherwise I love it!
