Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGuillaume Lours is a Staff Software Engineer with 15 years of experience leading developer tooling and cloud-native projects, currently heading the team behind Docker Compose v2 and Docker Development Environments. He blends hands-on engineering in Go, Electron, React/Redux and CI/packaging automation with a track record of maintaining high-profile open-source repos such as docker/compose, docker/awesome-compose and docker-ce-packaging. A community builder and organizer—co-founder of Normandy Agile User Group and co-organizer of Codeurs en Seine—he also serves in leadership roles in Lean Kanban France and regularly speaks at local Java and Agile meetups. His work bridges product-facing desktop features and low-level developer UX improvements, from authoring Compose tooling to refining packaging and CI workflows. Notably, he often acts as the “glue” across teams and projects, handling both documentation, release notes and the operational updates that keep large open-source ecosystems shipping.
