I’m passionate about digital collections, data partnerships, and open access projects.
I am employed at Auckland Museum, and my role allows me to engage with digital partnership platforms via large-scale batch uploads and ongoing data maintenance.
My interests include metadata governance, digital preservation, data visualisations, linked open data, and building tools to support GLAM institutions' contributions of open access content.
- Primary Languages: Python, R, SQL, GREL
- Data Tools: OpenRefine, Pandas, Power BI
- Platforms: Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, Pinterest, Flickr, Internet Archive, BHL, Google Arts & Culture and GBIF
- Other Interests: Machine learning, authority management, ontologies, and data round-tripping

Always keen to collaborate on GLAM and open knowledge projects.
