Top SchoolAndré Kilchenmann is an archivinformatiker and web developer with 11 years' experience blending digital humanities research and practical archival systems work at institutions including the Staatsarchiv Solothurn and DaSCH. He builds user-focused web applications and front ends informed by a PhD in Digital Humanities and a background in media studies, cultural anthropology, and computer science. André’s career spans academic research, production-ready web tools (notably a web-based video annotation system), and data lifecycle management, giving him a strong grasp of metadata, preservation workflows, and usability.
