Meet the Staff – Shawn Kiewel
Shawn Kiewel joined the GALILEO staff in December of 2008 as an Application Analyst /Specialist. Shawn was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and moved to the state of Georgia in 1997 to pursue a career in computer programming. Since then, he has worked as a web developer for Athens Technical College designing training systems and for the Disability Resource Center/University Testing at the University of Georgia. In his time with GALILEO, he has worked on re-writing the Civil Rights Digital Library’s site, with Brad Baxter, and various other projects. Shawn started programming computers when he was still in primary school after his father bought him a Tandy 100EX. Shawn says that he has always been interested in “solving problems and making things” from an early age and finds much satisfaction in his current position at GALILEO where he does exactly that.
