About me
I am a software developer and markup specialist from Hamburg. My main job is to head the department "Discovery Systems and Library Management Systems Development" of the Hamburg State and University Library, Hamburg's largest general academic library, and the central library of the University of Hamburg and the city's other higher education institutions.
I am the author of SchXslt the leading XSLT-based implementation of the ISO Schematron validation language and act as community representative for the international Schematron users community.
Consulting
With 10+ years of professional experience in academic libraries, I offer consulting and training.
- XML for Digital Humanists (XML, XSLT, ISO Schematron, RELAX NG, TEI ODD)
- Processing and publishing library data (MARC, PICA, MODS, LIDO et al.)
- Building and maintaining XML-based workflows
- Developing custom solutions (modules) for VuFind®-based discovery systems
Digital projects do not always go as planned and run into crises. In these cases, too, I am available to provide advice and help you get the project back on track and complete it successfully.
Software & publications
You find most of the software I develop outside my main occupation over at Codeberg. Some of the code I write for my employer is published in its institutional code repository.
A list of my publications is listed a my ORCiD page.
