Senior🎓
Top SchoolChase Dooley is a Senior Digital Collections Specialist with 11 years of experience designing cloud-native infrastructure and data workflows that make petabyte-scale web archives discoverable and usable. At the Library of Congress he architects and automates AWS environments (EMR, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Athena) and deploys reproducible infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation to support multi-petabyte research datasets. He combines hands-on engineering—Python ETL, EMR/ECS extraction jobs, and Kubernetes/GitOps experience—with a librarian’s focus on access, compliance, and provenance. Comfortable translating between policy and practice, Chase acts as a bridge between developers, researchers, and stakeholders to deliver transparent, auditable data products. His background in English and a master’s in IT gives him a rare mix of humanities-informed thinking and technical rigor, which he applies to making public knowledge both actionable and durable.
