About Us

Roberta Piket is the founder and sole owner of New York Geek Girls, Inc Computer Services. Roberta holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Tufts University, which she earned concurrently with a bachelor’s degree in jazz piano from New England Conservatory.

Although she had a brief stint as a software engineer (at now defunct Digital Equipment Corporation) before giving it up in her early twenties to become a professional pianist, Roberta’s interest in personal computers began when, as a starving artist, she couldn’t afford to pay anyone else to solve her computer problems for her. She soon discovered that her left brain was well-suited to the task, and in 2005 she founded New York Geek Girls. In addition to running day to day operations, Roberta is the primary tech.

While her technical experience and her logical mind make her an excellent computer tech, Roberta believes it is her liberal arts background that makes New York Geek Girls special. More than just a geek, Roberta is an excellent problem solver and communicator who enjoys going the extra mile for her clients.

Roberta still performs frequently in the New York area and, when her loyal clients can spare her, tours internationally.
