Summary
Patrick Rashleigh is a digital scholarship technology leader with 11 years of experience at Brown University, currently heading the Center for Digital Scholarship's technology services and a small development team. He blends web programming, UX design, and user research to build accessible, media-rich interfaces for diverse audiences—from historical databases to interactive music publications and herbarium visualizations. His background in musicology and English literature informs a nuanced approach to content, narrative and archival workflows that few technologists bring to library-facing projects. Previously he shaped digital humanities programs and taught TEI, multimedia, and XML integrations at Wheaton College and led large-scale web redesigns in government, demonstrating both pedagogical and operational chops. Curious and interdisciplinary, he favors thoughtful, research-driven design choices that make complex scholarship discoverable and usable.
