Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDon Schenck is a retired developer advocate with 12 years of formal experience evangelizing .NET, Kubernetes, and OpenShift at Red Hat and Rackspace, and a software background that stretches back to building .NET solutions and consulting since the 1990s. He blended hands-on engineering with content creation—writing tutorials, producing videos, speaking at conferences, and shipping sample code to help enterprise .NET developers adopt cloud-native patterns.

Comfortable switching between backend services and developer-facing communications, he has a knack for turning complex platform concepts into approachable developer experiences. Based in York, Pennsylvania, he also ran his own .NET development shop for nearly two decades, bringing entrepreneurial discipline to technical advocacy.
