IT leader with 20+ years’ experience in these roles: Director of Library Systems (current), Assistant Director of Integration, Technical Architect, Manager of Custom Applications, and Sr Developer. I champion cloud-first and DevOps methodologies. In FOLIO I participate in these SIGs: SysOps, User Management, and Support. I attended the last WOLFCon and ran tests in the last two FOLIO Bug Fests.
At Cornell I lead FOLIO systems integration efforts including identity management, user import, Caiasoft, accounting, bursar export (PO of fee/fine exports), BorrowDirect (OCLC Relais), and others. On the Technical Council I would focus on: systems integrations, technical debt, DevOps and IT security best practices, and enhancing community outreach.

...
I am an engineer with strong technical background in Java development and micro-service design, and with main professional focus in solution architecture. Having ~15 years of experience in software engineering I can now present myself as a skilled Solution Architect and Team Leader with proven success stories in different domains.
I've been working with EBSCO for 4 years, and ~0.5y of them with FOLIO, so I've already got domain knowledge, understanding of terminology and processes.
Since currently EPAM contributes a lot into FOLIO success (together with other Member Organizations of course), I strongly believe all my experience and skills should be useful for the community, and I can act as a bridge between Tech Council and EPAM teams.
...
A front-end developer for FOLIO since 2017, I am a current member of the Tech Council and Support SIG, UI team lead for several core UI apps and modules, and unofficial convener of weekly UI developer meetings. The modules I regularly commit to rely on more than 50 different Okapi interfaces, providing me with broad insight both into FOLIO's features and its technical underpinnings and challenges. I recognize the need to balance individual teams' desires to operate nimbly and independently within their domains with the need to establish common, project-wide expectations, services, and guidelines. I am particularly concerned with a11y and i18n, making sure FOLIO is usable by the widest possible audience.
...
I am a Systems Librarian and manage our ILS group. I have worked in library systems for three decades in various technical and analytic roles. I have a broad understanding of library data, data lifecycle, applications, integrations, and how they support a library’s operations and mission. I often act as a bridge between technical staff, non-technical staff, operations and administration.
I currently serve on the TC, have been active in the Reporting and SysOps SIGs, working groups, provided analysis, and presented issues to one group on behalf of another. I advocate taking a longer view of our technical decisions and investments. I believe I bring value to the TC and would like to continue to serve.
...
I am Head of Department System Engineering at VZG/GBV (non-profit) and as such responsible for the technical implementation and maintenance of the GBV Folio plattform (based on Kubernetes) and other hosting services. I studied Economics with a focus on IT. I have 3 years experience in running Folio and about 12 years in running conventional library management systems in a hosted environment for over 200 libraries. My technical focus is on providing services in a bigger scope with the use of scalable systems and automation (e.g. Kubernetes, Ceph, Puppet). I am a member of our internal CBS2Folio project which aims to connect Folio to our central catalog for title data retrieval and a member of the German SysOps SIG.
