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.
