Collin Brittle joins the Core Library Systems Team as a digital library architect. He previously spent seven years as a software engineer at the Virginia Tech University library where he participated in a Hydra implementation similar to one being planned at Emory.
Collin was raised in Warrenton, VA (outside of Manassas), and earned his bachelor’s degree in business information technology from Virginia Tech.
An avid backpacker, Collin tries to do a major trip every year with his brother and other friends. He has recently hiked at Banff National Park in Canada, as well as in Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and the Arches. Collin also enjoys video games, especially enjoying the Double Fine suite of titles (“Psychonauts is an amazing game,” he said).
“Starting up a new Hydra repository from scratch at Tech taught me a lot about that process,” said Collin. “Seeing some of the things Emory already has in place regarding Hydra makes me really excited.”
