Ron Northcutt

Ron Northcutt

Ron Northcutt has spent 25 years working on the thing most companies get wrong: how an open source project becomes a business without wrecking the community that made it valuable.

He is Director of Technical Marketing at HAProxy Technologies, one of the most widely deployed load balancers on the internet. Before that he built developer relations from scratch at Appsmith, worked as a solutions architect on enterprise deployments for Acquia, and spent 19 years in the Drupal community as a certified developer and contributor. He is a backend developer by trade, mostly PHP, Typescript, and Go... and still ships code.

He is also co-creator and co-maintainer of Omnideck, an open source, local-first workbench for multi-agent AI. He runs models on his own hardware, which has given him specific and occasionally unpopular opinions about how and where to use AI.

Ron speaks on commercial open source strategy, developer-first go-to-market, enterprise architecture, and practical AI for teams that actually have to ship something.

His mantra: nothing's impossible, it just takes a little longer.

For almost 30 years I've run Step Ahead as Founder and CEO - an award-winning employment and training organisation that has helped thousands of people find work, often from the toughest starting points. But some of my most powerful conversations have happened informally - with my own sons, their friends, and the children of friends who came to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and invisible in a job market that nobody had prepared them for. The same questions kept coming up. The same avoidable mistakes kept quietly costing people opportunities.

So I put everything I told them into a programme - every step, every shortcut, every mistake to avoid - so people can follow the exact same path. Practical, direct, and built around what actually gets people hired. No fluff. No theory. Just what works.

Guillermo Rincón Gracia

Guillermo Rincón Gracia

Born in Madrid around 30 years ago, Guillermo studied Electronics and Automation Engineering, only to discover after a couple of years at work that what really drives him is working with people. He started as a Software Developer, discovered the Agile world, and quickly became a fan of it — transitioning into a Scrum Master role and learning a lot about agile working and collaboration, always with an eye on increasing productivity and improving the relationships between developers.
These days, Guillermo has traded sprint boards for a new obsession: figuring out what actually makes developers' lives better. At PAYBACK GmbH, he digs into surveys, metrics, and honest conversations to find out where the friction really is — then goes after it by making Developer Experience a real priority, not an afterthought. He's convinced that happy, productive developers are the secret sauce for a successful organization.
