Summary
👤
SeniorHector Correa is a Senior Library Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building high-impact web applications, currently developing research data management tools for Princeton University Library. He specializes in Ruby on Rails and Apache Solr/Blacklight for discovery and indexing in academic libraries, having led major projects at Brown and Penn State including discovery layers, institutional repositories, and researcher profile systems. Earlier in his career he delivered high-volume, performance-tuned systems on the Microsoft stack (C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server), giving him a rare mix of library-focused search expertise and large-scale web engineering. Comfortable leading small collaborative teams, he has a track record of moving legacy platforms to maintainable, efficient architectures and applying semantic-web concepts like RDF in library contexts. An understated strength is his ability to bridge domain knowledge in librarianship with practical engineering trade-offs, making complex metadata and search problems solvable in production.
