About
Hi, I'm Donnie Berkholz, RedMonk's resident Ph.D.
I spent most of my career prior to RedMonk as a researcher in the biological sciences, where I did a huge amount of data analysis & visualization as well as scientific programming.
I also have a decade of experience developing and leading a Linux distribution, which gives me significant expertise in areas including open-source development, community management, and software packaging.
