Liquid Web Software Engineer, Alis Klajda, on what drew her to tech, why she loves her colleagues, and the importance of letting passions guide you.
“At the end of the day, it’s all about the people. The applications I build are used by thousands of customers and hundreds of coworkers every day, and if I can make their lives easier, that’s really satisfying.”
One of Alis Klajda’s earliest memories is of her father setting up his work computer in their Michigan basement—a Commodore 64. “It was love at first sight for both my brother and me,” she says. “At first, we played video games, but that quickly escalated. Soon, we were learning BASIC to write our own and eventually building our own desktop computers.” Now, after all these years, Klajda and her brother are both software engineers.
