Cory LaNou
Principal Architect & Founder
Cory is a full stack technologist with nearly 30 years of professional experience. He began his career at CDW.com in the late 90's, where he helped build one of the world's first ecommerce engines, predating Amazon. He has started several technology companies, including Pulsity, a web consulting firm in the late 90's. From that company, Local Launch, an internet marketing technology company was formed and sold to RH Donnelly in 2006. Cory co-authored "Go Fundamentals" and volunteers as a high school AI Programming Club leader.
Cory has deep experience in the Go world, having worked on the Core engineering team that contributes to InfluxDB, a highly scalable, distributed time series database written in Go. He has worked on several other Go projects with a focus on profiling and optimizing applications, using advanced profiling concepts such as torch graphs and tracing profiles.
Cory has deep ties to the Go community, having started one of the very first Go meetups in the world, Denver Gophers, as well as assisting in the very first GopherCon. He has created and led numerous Go workshops and training courses, and has several published online articles related to Go. Cory is also a partner at Gopher Guides, the industry leader for Go training and conferences.
When Cory isn't working on writing new Go training material, he volunteers his time helping local entrepreneurs start up their own businesses by offering free business advice and services, such as incorporating their business, getting their web presence set up, and giving them the morale support they need to make their dreams a reality.
