Evolving the preprint evaluation world with Sciety
This post is based on an interview with Sciety team at eLife.
Joel has moved on from Crossref. Joel joined Crossref in late 2019 to help leverage up-and-coming solutions to ensure stability and reliability. He has lived in various places but currently calls Minneapolis, Minnesota, his home. In his free time, he operates historic streetcars, works on property on an island in Lake Superior, and enjoys contributing to the open-source world by fixing bugs in other people’s software and releasing his own.
I’m Joel, a Senior Site Reliability Engineer here at Crossref. I have a long background in open source, software development, and solving unique problems. One of my earliest computer influences was my father. He wrote software to support scientists in search of things like the top quark, the most massive of all observed elementary particles.
