Summary
Eliot Scott is a Drupal developer and digital archivist with roughly a decade of experience building content-rich web systems for universities and cultural institutions. He combines an MSIS from UT Austin with an MA in Anthropology and a BFA in Film, bringing rare interdisciplinary expertise in cataloging, digital preservation, and multimedia production to CMS and repository projects. At Brown and UT he developed Drupal/Islandora frontends and migration pipelines (XML/XSLT) to streamline catalog and TEI workflows, and he built a crowd-sourced archival transcription system for a community archive. Comfortable across PHP, Drupal, XML standards (MARC/MODS/Dublin Core), and multimedia toolchains, he bridges technical development with archival practice and usability research. Based in Ann Arbor, Eliot’s background in film and hands-on video work informs a practical sense for metadata, digitization, and user-facing documentation that many developers lack.
