Summary
Rogan Hamby is a data and project manager with over two decades at the intersection of technology and library services, currently leading implementations of open-source ILS and discovery systems for an international client base. He combines hands-on data migration and SQL/Perl work in Linux environments with proven leadership running distributed projects across 85 locations and managing operations for large consortia. Comfortable translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders, he’s frequently invited to speak and train staff on technology adoption and workflows. Rogan’s background spans systems administration, network and server management, and supervisory roles in both public and state library settings, giving him a rare mix of operational depth and people-focused management. An occasional coder and perpetual data munger (and tea drinker), he’s motivated by pragmatic, data-driven change and a willingness to abandon preconceptions to modernize legacy library systems.
