Summary

I'm a full-stack software engineer with 14 years of professional experience with various front-end and back-end technologies and frameworks. I also have substantial experience with conducting, interpreting, and applying user research. I am well-versed with semantic technologies and discovery environments like Blacklight.

I have worked in software development at Cornell University since 2010. I am interested in the design and architecture of linked data and semantic web applications, specifically in: (a) supporting usability through effective interface design and (b) enabling flexible interplay between different components and/or technologies. I have participated in the following linked data related projects: Datastar, VIVO, EarthCollab, the Linked Data For Libraries Labs grant, and Linked Data for Production: Pathways to Implementation. I currently help with the direction of the discovery area of the Linked Data for Production: Closing the Loop grant.

I have contributed to different projects that employ Blacklight and GeoBlacklight. I am a developer on the Cornell University Geospatial Information Repository (CUGIR) project.

I have a joint Ph.D. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
