Since 1996, I've dedicated my career to the dynamic world of libraries and information science. As a recently promoted General Manager (Scientific Information) at a leading research institute, I leverage my extensive experience in library automation, digitization, and open-source technologies to empower the knowledge needs of our community.My core belief is that information access should be equitable and accessible to all. This drives my passion for implementing innovative IT solutions and promoting a strong open-source software (FOSS) culture within libraries, especially those with limited budgets.I'm constantly expanding my skillset, currently pursuing a PhD and exploring cutting-edge fields like research, information management, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), prompt engineering, and generative AI.Connect with me to discuss:Open-source solutions for librariesInnovative information management strategiesLeveraging AI and ML for research impactFostering a collaborative information ecosystem
