About the Coding Geekette

Sarah Dutkiewicz has worn many hats in the past decade - including technical support tech, technical support manager, database administrator, system administrator, programmer, report writer, editor, and now developer. She graduated in 2002 with her Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering Technology from the University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio. When she isn't working on database-driven websites, she's reading up on the latest technologies and networking with other developers.
