John Labarge is a seasoned software engineer and engineering leader based in Austin with over a decade of experience building cloud, mobile, and web systems at companies from startups to Apple and Google. His career uniquely blends deep technical practice—spanning speech recognition, voice runtimes, and cloud architecture—with legal training as a JD specializing in intellectual property. At Google he worked as a Cloud Solutions Architect and now contributes to large-scale engineering at Apple, bringing rigorous architecture and delivery focus. He founded and led a consulting firm, demonstrating entrepreneurial instincts and product-facing technical leadership. A lifelong learner with a hunger for new skills, he pairs curiosity with practical execution across full-stack and cloud-native stacks. Less obvious: his mix of attorney training and hands-on engineering gives him a rare perspective on technical risk, compliance, and IP-aware system design.
