Matt Moore
Founder at Chainguard, Inc.
Kirkland, Washington, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarMatt Moore is Founder and CTO of Chainguard, building practical solutions for software supply chain security from Kirkland, WA after a career of serial entrepreneurship inside large companies. He co-founded Knative and led core Serving architecture work at Google and VMware, and his open-source footprint spans critical cloud-native projects including go-containerregistry, distroless, Tekton, Cosign and Sigstore. A hands-on backend and DevOps engineer, Matt frequently focuses on authentication, OCI/image tooling, and build/release automation—examples include adding Bearer token expiry to registries and enabling GitHub OIDC for Fulcio. That mix of product leadership and low-level infrastructure work drives Chainguard’s emphasis on shipping secure, usable controls rather than just flagging supply-chain problems.
