Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrant Gayed is an advisory software engineer with 14+ years at IBM focused on developer tooling, currently driving the full-stack implementation of IBM Cloud DevOps Services and the hosted Eclipse Orion Web IDE. He combines deep platform expertise—from SWT and native browser integrations to modern cloud-native stacks like Node.js, Kubernetes and Docker—with a passion for open source contributions to the Eclipse ecosystem. Grant has led cross-cutting efforts such as browser widget portability, Crossfire remote JS debugging for IE, and the collection/reporting of usage metrics across DevOps components, demonstrating both low-level systems skill and product-minded telemetry work. Comfortable across C/C++, Java, Python and web technologies, he excels at translating legacy platform constraints into robust modern tooling. Colleagues know him for sustained, public-facing stewardship (over 2,100 Eclipse forum posts) and a drive to learn by stretching beyond his comfort zone.
