Brandon Phillips is a technical director and cloud-native leader with nine years of experience blending software engineering, architecture, product, and go-to-market strategy to help organizations modernize delivery and data platforms. He has led teams and initiatives across startups and enterprise environments—from architecting container and Kubernetes modernizations at Uline to shaping DevRel and product direction at Dagster Labs and Pulumi. Known for mentoring engineers and fostering community, he hosts the Merging to Main podcast and has spoken at ArgoCon and KubeCon, translating real-world practitioner feedback into product and content strategy. Comfortable oscillating between hands-on architecture and director-level strategy, he excels at turning complex cloud-native challenges into pragmatic, repeatable solutions.
