Gant Laborde has been involved in software development for 20 years and continues strong today. He is an owner of Infinite Red, a software consultancy known for its deep roots in the developer community, where he leads teams and helps shape the engineering culture of the company he co-steers.

Gant’s work has always reached beyond writing code. He is a mentor and an adjunct professor, passing on what two decades in the industry have taught him to the next generation of developers. He is a published author and an award-winning speaker, regularly presenting on machine learning, mobile development, and software craft at conferences and meetups.

The developer community is where much of Gant’s energy lands. A self-described open sourcerer, he blogs, produces videos, and maintains popular open-source repositories, contributing tools and teaching materials that thousands of developers use. He also aspires to one day become a mad scientist, and judging by the range of his projects, he is well on his way.
