Claire Moss has always had a passion for writing, which might be a strange trait for a discrete mathematician, but that doesn’t stop her from blogging or writing software articles. After working briefly as a software programmer and technical writer during college, Claire signed on as a quality engineer after graduation. By now, Claire has been delivering and testing software for 18 years. When you find your calling, you never look back! You might say she’s a compulsive empiricist when it comes to software. Claire continues to use her evil powers for good on the job and on her blog.
