IT &Technical Services Manager for the Altadena Library District.
Learn MorePast mathematician, present Librarian & IT Manager, and forever nerd. I consider myself an apprentice of many subjects and the master of none. I'm always striving to learn new skills, utilize emerging technologies and develop professional partnerships. Most of my focuses are technology related because that is my passion but it's challenging to pick one specific area of focus. Recently I've been working with things like 3-D Printing, Virtual Reality, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, iMovie & Final Cut Pro, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and Web CMSs. Most days I am thinking about what technologies and services can be utilized by libraries in a meaningful way.
Since I've just started this position, I don't have very much to say about the position yet. Check back soon for more information.
