Quinn Daedal (they/them) is the Academic Technology Specialist in the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages, and in the Library at Stanford University. Prior to coming to Stanford in 2018, Quinn’s many DH adventures included supporting the high-performance computing cluster at UC Berkeley, running the DiRT tool directory with support from the Mellon Foundation, writing books on Drupal for Humanists and University of Chicago library graffiti, and working on the program staff of Project Bamboo, a failed digital humanities cyberinfrastructure initiative.

Quinn has a BA/MA in Slavic Linguistics from the University of Chicago, and an MLIS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since coming to Stanford, Quinn has supported numerous non-English DH projects, co-founded SUCHO (Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online), taught courses on non-English DH, started a Textile Makerspace and YarnLab, developed a tabletop roleplaying game to teach DH project management, and started the Data-Sitters Club, a feminist DH pedagogy and research group focused on Ann M. Martin’s 90’s girls series “The Baby-Sitters Club”. Quinn has served as co-VP of the Association for Computers and the Humanities, and advocates for better support for DH in languages other than English.

When Quinn was married (2007-2024), they went by Quinn Dombrowski. They chose Daedal (after Daedalus) as their own surname in 2025, and legally changed it in 2026.
