I am founder, director, and chief architect of the Blue Mountain Project, a digital resource for the study of journals of the avant-garde. I won a 2-year, quarter-million-dollar grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to digitize more than thirty historical magazines in METS/ALTO. I developed a web application for Blue Mountain on the eXist-db platform in XQuery and XSLT (version 2.0 will be released in November 2016) as well as an API (Blue Mountain Springs) geared toward researchers in the Digital Humanities and an implementation of the IIIF Presentation API. I have presented Blue Mountain at numerous academic conferences world-wide.

I manage the digitization of newspapers and magazines in the Princeton University Library. I oversee METS/ALTO conversion projects, writing specifications and RFPs and managing existing assets. I act as liaison to various national and international working groups involved with newspaper and periodical digitization using XML, Samvera, and IIIF.

As Coordinator of Library Digital Initiatives at the Princeton University Library, I was responsible for designing and building the Library's first digital repository. I worked with librarians and faculty to conceive, design, fund, and develop digital projects; highlights included an NEH-DFG-funded project to digitized endangered Yemeni manuscripts and the Papers of Princeton, a multi-institutional project to digitize historical newspapers from Princeton University and the surrounding community.

I was a senior researcher in text encoding and digital textuality in Princeton's Center for Digital Humanities, where I directed of one of the Center's foundational projects; I served as project manager and technical lead on several sponsored projects, including Blue Mountain Springs, Mapping Expatriate Paris, and Digital Oulipo.

With Robert Scholes, I developed the Modernist Journals Project from a earlier prototype into the primary resource for modernist periodical studies. As the sole software engineer, I designed and developed a digital library based on library-standard metadata using the eXist-db web framework; as project manager, I developed guidelines and standards for metadata encoding, and I managed digital production at Brown and coordinated with vendors and production team at University of Tulsa. As a modernist scholar, I presented papers and led workshops at academic conferences. Wrote successful grant proposals, published academic papers, and co-authored an award-winning book with Professor Scholes.

I developed computational techniques to encode complex documents (early modern dramas, chronicles, and miscellany; nineteenth century dictionaries and commentary; early twentieth century variorum editions) into TEI-conformant XML for publication in the Perseus Digital Library. I developed and taught workshops about using digital libraries and high-school classrooms. I wrote lesson plans for Edsitement. I wrote numerous successful grant proposals and published award-winning articles.
