Nancy Winnick Cluts is the fourth of the seven children of Bronislaw and Anne Winnick, and the only one who really likes messing around with computers. She holds a degree in computer science from Indiana University.
After college, she was employed at Tandy Corporation, pro-gramming in 6809 assembler for the Color Computer on a software product called DeskMate, where she got her first taste of working all night to meet schedules and squeezing every last byte out of code to make it fit in a very tiny space.
Nancy joined Microsoft in 1990. When the opportunity arose to work with Microsoft Windows NT, she jumped at the chance to learn all she could about the new Win32 API and to help developers write applications using Win32. In 1993, she joined the Microsoft Developer Network, writing technical articles about programming for Microsoft's newest operating systems.
Nancy resides in Redmond, Washington, with her husband, Jonathan, and her son, Nicholas.
