Ronald McCollam

Personal Website

Author of the Apress book Getting Started with Grafana, Ronald McCollam is a “geek of all trades” with experience ranging from full stack development to IT operations to management and sales. He has a strong background in open source software, starting when a stack of 3.5″ Slackware floppies was the *easy* way to install Linux. He’s managed IT operations in datacenters from back when the “cloud” was new and scary, built and run an OS certification program for hardware running Linux, and spent entirely too long thinking about observability. He’s also a Certified Irish Whisky Taster.
