Scope of Work
Strategy and Consulting: attended vendor demos, developed optimization roadmaps, set up system configurations, wrote assessment reports, restructured taxonomies, enhanced workflows, and proposed new systems.
Assessment: audited digital assets, system architecture, workflows. Co-authored reports, white papers, technical reports, and metadata crosswalks.
Data analytics: collected data, visualized it in dashboards (Tableau, SmartSheets, Power BI, Airtable), reported on Google Analytics data. I have used MySQL Workbench to export and analyze data.
Implementation: installed and set up DAMS, CMS, ILS and digital repository tools like Archive-It, Omeka, WordPress, AEM, ArchivEra, and TMS.
Low-level Digital Asset Management Work: uploaded, renamed, cataloged/tagged, and performed quality control against brand guidelines.
Back-end, front-end, and indie video game development specializing in Python, UX/UI Design, and CMS/DAM system development
I edited the front-end user interface of systems using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I collaboratively programmed, used Git, debugged code, queried APIs, and cleaned data with scripts, Excel, LibreOffice, and OpenRefine. I used MySQL Workbench to export and analyze data.
I created and documented system data architecture by creating technical system maps, tracing data movements across systems and data layers, and installing configurations. I designed data entity relationship maps and metadata schemas per technical standards and in-house data needs.
I developed the back-end of custom and vendor DAMS, CMS, ILS, and digital repositories like WordPress, CollectiveAccess, Omeka S, contentDM, Archive-It, and other MySQL-based systems. I set up SFTP and remote connections to virtual servers, databases, finding aids and library research guides, and client devices for remote digital asset transfers.
Starting in 2023, I developed indie video games and interactive designs for PC, Mac, and iOS in Ren'Py, Godot, GameMaker, and Twine using Python, GDScript, and GML scripting languages.
Curated, described, and installed Reclaiming Ohi:Yo’ - Restoring the Altered Landscape of the Beautiful River, which tells the story of the Seneca Nation of Indians Allegheny Territory's river, climate change, and Seneca resilience.
I was brought on as a project director consultant to help proofread English/Japanese translations, design wire-frames and the overall user interface, upload content, and create metadata.
Solo curator for the Post-Colonial Dreams exhibit, a reimagined Afro-Indigenous Philadelphia, PA based on its Black public art. Made for my LEADING data science fellowship with Drexel University.
Authored over 30 research pieces and technical articles on open access, DAM, digital preservation, archives, Indigenous collection management, data standards, psychology, and history
Original Research on Indigenous Issues in Cultural Heritage: LC Authorities for Indigenous Long Island subjects and names; a library and archive literature review on Indigenous collection management; UX Design issues with TK Labels (Traditional Knowledge Labels); archival accessibility issues with federal recognition research, and more.
Public Speaking: I presented my research findings at the UK National Archives, Pratt Institute School of Information, Queen's University Belfast Centre for Public History, University of Southern Mississippi, University of California Los Angeles, the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section Conference.
Research Methods: I specialize in qualitative and quantitative methods. Peer-reviewed research includes IRB Studies of art history, OER development, and psycho-linguistics. I have conducted archival and historical research. Created prototypes, mock-ups, data visualizations, websites, training manuals, and technical support documentation.
I am involved in a lot more than I can neatly categorize like grant writing, editing and formatting (dissertations, journals, blogs), devising budgets, digital marketing and social media management, giving lectures, submitting grants and award nominations, and sandboxing software features
