Top SchoolJeremy Nelson is a software engineer with 17 years of experience who builds library-focused digital systems and scalable web applications, currently contributing to Stanford University Libraries' Digital Libraries Systems and Services. He combines early-career product and project management experience from commercial software firms with a library science MS from UIUC to bridge traditional bibliographic standards (MARC21, MODS) and modern linked-data/NoSQL architectures like MongoDB and Redis. At Colorado College he developed a NoSQL app-ecosystem and an open-source Catalog Pull Platform that demonstrates practical BIBFRAME and Schema.org integration, work recognized by the Library of Congress. Author of two technical books—Becoming a Lean Library and Mastering Redis—he mixes lean startup thinking with deep systems engineering. Based in Pacifica, CA, he brings a rare blend of domain expertise in librarianship and hands-on expertise in Python, Django/Flask, and cloud/NoSQL infrastructures to modernize cataloging workflows.
