ITHAKA
Lead Software Engineer
Somerville, MA
I'm a Lead Software Engineer at ITHAKA, where I work on new ventures in the JSTOR Labs group. Lately, that means a tool to support prospective college transfer students in researching their choices. I also have an MLIS and a longstanding interest in humanistic applications of machine learning. I've taught AI to aspiring librarians as an adjunct faculty member at the San José State University iSchool and been a Library of Congress researcher on a project to apply ML to their collections. In the past, I've written code for the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, the MIT Libraries, and the Wikimedia Foundation, among others. I was President of the Library & Information Technology Association. Talk to me about AI (how it works, what it means, what it can do in libraries, and its dark side), alternative education, knitting, our pets, and airplanes.
