Summary
Noah Huffman is a data and metadata leader with over a decade of experience building and managing faculty data systems and archival metadata pipelines at Duke University. He leads a team that aggregates, maintains, and publishes faculty data across platforms such as SAP/dFac, Scholars@Duke, and Elements, combining technical scripting (Python, XSLT, SQL) with deep knowledge of archival standards and metadata schemas. His background as an archivist and consultant gives him a rare blend of rigorous descriptive standards (DACS, EAD, MARC, Dublin Core) and practical ETL experience migrating legacy collections into modern systems like ArchivesSpace. Known for streamlining complex cross‑departmental workflows, he translates institutional requirements into reliable, auditable data pipelines and tools. Based in Durham, NC, he pairs an MLIS and history training with hands-on engineering to improve research intelligence and institutional data stewardship.
