Gregg Irwin is an experienced software leader and entrepreneur with 15 years of focused experience running product and engineering operations from Nampa, Idaho. As Head of the Operational Board for the Red Language Foundation and co-founder of FullStack Technologies, he blends open-source contributions to the Red programming language with hands-on product development and long-running R&D projects. He founded and led Pointillistic Software where he architected complex systems—from remote camera control and timelapse pipelines handling tens of terabytes long before cloud object storage became common, to precision agriculture sensor networks and integrations. Gregg has repeatedly taken startups from concept to production as CTO or CEO, designing full stacks and managing technical transitions while keeping an engineer’s attention to documentation, maintainability and pragmatic tooling. His work shows a rare combination of low-level systems thinking, field-deployed reliability, and long-term stewardship of community-driven language projects.
Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
