Summary
Katherine Kjeer is a senior software engineer with 10 years of experience building both developer-facing tools and user-facing web applications, blending TypeScript/React front-end expertise with deep C++ compiler work on Clang/LLVM. She has shipped component libraries and scalable UI features at Higharc and Microsoft, and contributed to research-grade compiler projects that improve memory-safety checks. Comfortable moving between abstract math-driven problem analysis and practical product delivery, she also mentors junior engineers and interns. Her work spans building the Fabric Bot automation used across hundreds of Microsoft repositories to modernizing MATLAB compiler backends, demonstrating a rare mix of production web engineering and systems-level compiler design. Based in Mankato, MN, she’s motivated to apply her cross-domain skills to educational technology or developer productivity roles.
