Women in Science: Fermilab Scientific Computing Specialist Krista Majewski

With February 11 marking the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, female physicists, engineers and computer scientists from CERN and Fermilab share their experiences of building careers in science. Krista Majewski came to Fermilab nine years ago as a software developer and now works in an operations role. She is a computing services specialist and part of the grid and cloud operations group, which manages computing clusters for the CMS experiment and other intensity frontier experiments at the lab. "My typical day would be maintaining the services that our group is responsible for and the machines that they run on. So if there are problems with a computing cluster where a user can't run their jobs, or they're trying to run on resources on the grid and they're unable to, then our group would be responsible for helping debug some of those issues," Krista says. Her path to programming at Fermilab has been winding. After receiving a degree in biomedical engineering, she went to work doing web development and programming for a large consulting firm, then moved to the financial industry. But programming called her back, and she earned a master's degree in computer science to start her new career. For Krista, programming is similar to something she enjoyed as child: solving puzzles. "I think it's a skill that you use in a lot of different ways," she says.
