Top SchoolChris Holdgraf is an open infrastructure leader and Executive Director of 2i2c who builds and operates cloud-native interactive computing platforms for research and education while serving on several governance bodies for Project Jupyter. With a PhD in neuroscience and 12 years of experience, he blends deep technical work—contributions to JupyterHub, Binder, JupyterLab, Jupyter Book and many documentation and UX improvements—with community building, governance, and nonprofit management. He repeatedly focuses on making computational research more reproducible, accessible, and inclusive by improving docs, front-end UX, and deployment tooling (notably repo2docker, zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s and Binder). Based in Berkeley, he combines academic rigor with product-minded engineering and a knack for turning complex open-source projects into usable, well-documented services for educators and scientists.
