Susan used to be JustaProgrammer working in the JavaLanguage. However, this year she became a DeveloperTurnedManager, and is allowed to do some design and coding on the side. (Hey, I could have written the ManagersWhoWriteCode page.)

She lives in HoustonTexas?, where she was born and here she settled after graduating from RiceUniversity.

The leads participate in design reviews with the architects...

VickiKerr has an intriguing MathQuizOne, although I have not looked at it in about three years.
