- Education
I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science - Software Engineering from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2011. I've also studied at the Universities of Wisconsin Stevens Point and Fox Valley.
- Professional Background
I started as a Web Developer Intern at Polk Library in 2010. In 2011 I was hired as the full time Web Developer. In 2021, my position changed to the Library Software Engineer. I manage and maintain multiple systems including but not limited to the library web presence, multiple library servers, archival systems and Search@UW which is the libraries resource discovery layer. All these systems keep the library available online for our students, faculty and staff. In addition to managing various library systems, I program applications and software for various library needs. I am currently co-chairing the UW Library System Discovery and Fulfillment Committee and I am a member of the UW Library System EZproxy Interest Group.
