I'm a software developer and writer living in Ohio. My interests mainly surround metadata and archival projects.
I have a website detailing many of them.
Hardcover - Social discovery for serious book lovers
As a Senior Librarian on the Hardcover Team, I serve as a community leader and technical contributor. I guide policies and practices around book data quality, striving for metadata accuracy and strong processes.
Marian - A book data assistant
Marian the Librarian helps Hardcover.app contributors and other online book data enthusiasts view and capture book metadata from popular retail and catalog sites. With a single click, the sidebar pulls down titles, contributors, identifiers, descriptions, cover art, and more so you can manage clean data without endlessly scrolling, copying, and pasting.
Site support includes: Amazon, Kobo, Goodreads, The Storygraph, Google Books, ISBN Search, and more.
A TRMNL plugin for Hardcover users to display account statistics and goals, as well as books recently read, currently reading, or those on those ever-growing too-be-read pile.
