Based in Austin, TX, Casey oversees all aspects of Munday Library operations—from collections and archives to RHEL servers, LAMP CMS instances, ETL automations, EZProxy, ArchivesSpace, and an institutional repository—bringing a rare blend of technical systems administration and library strategy. They led a pandemic-era redesign toward a digital-first collections model and reimagined roles to prioritize collaborative creativity and distributed leadership.

Casey pairs an MLIS from UIUC with a background in convergent media, making them skilled at translating technical infrastructure into accessible services for scholars and learners. A pragmatic technologist and librarian, they focus on sustainable, user-centered systems that amplify institutional research and teaching.
