Biography

Daniel joined NC LIVE as the Web and Database Development Librarian in September 2017. He completed his undergraduate education at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington (say that three times fast!), and received his Master’s in Information Science from Indiana University Bloomington in 2010.

Since making his first website in middle school, Daniel has wanted to build awesome websites. Most recently, he worked for Indiana University Communications, helping various schools and departments to redesign their websites.

In addition to programming, Daniel has a passion for games of all kinds and loves exploring the world by bicycle. If the whole programming thing doesn’t end up working out, his backup career is to be a piano-based rockstar.

As the Web and Database Development Librarian, Daniel is responsible for the technical infrastructure of NC LIVE. He manages the NC LIVE website and database infrastructure, and maintains NC LIVE’s systems for resource access. Some of his projects include:

  • Building and implementing the website service
  • Helping member libraries implement NC LIVE Hosted Proxy
  • Developing specialized tools for resource access, such as the 10-day pass
  • Building and managing NC LIVE’s usage statistics infrastructure
  • Serving as the liaison to the Online Services Advisory Committee (OSAC)
