Summary
Jana Rajakumar is an Application Programmer Analyst with 12 years of experience building web and API-driven systems, currently developing IIIF-compliant tools for manuscript collation at the University of Toronto. She combines full-stack skills—Python/Django, Ruby on Rails, React/Redux and PHP—with hands-on experience integrating Fedora/Islandora, MongoDB and SOLR to enable digital humanities workflows. Her work bridges academic research and production engineering, shipping APIs, Omeka plugins and a progressive web app used for visualizing medieval manuscript structure. Outside of institutional projects she has built and maintained commercial websites and ran a small job-board startup, demonstrating an entrepreneurial streak and an ability to move projects from concept to user-facing products. She describes herself simply as a “tech enthusiast,” but her portfolio shows a focus on preservation-aware imaging standards and practical tooling for researchers.
