Scouting report
Author of microDecon, a published scientific R package
assessed from open-source footprint
Donald wrote microDecon (21★), a real R package for removing contamination from microbiome/metabarcoding datasets — published, cited tooling, not a toy. He's a reptile-and-amphibian research scientist who codes in R, so his work is deep but narrow (single language, niche domain). The right fit for a bioinformatics, genomics, or data-science role that needs rigorous R and scientific judgment.
