Summary
Brett Inman is an experienced engineering manager specializing in platform and routing infrastructure with a decade of hands-on leadership across cloud-native systems. He built and grew Docker’s platform group from a small infrastructure team into a 25-person organization, led the migration to Kubernetes-based cloud platforms, and drove initiatives that dramatically improved Docker Hub reliability and reduced distribution costs by over 30%. Known for combining technical depth with vendor negotiation and compliance work, he guided SOC2/ISO27001 certification efforts and managed complex rollouts like pull rate limiting with cross-functional communication. Now at Coinbase focusing on routing, he brings a pragmatic focus on developer experience, measurable platform metrics, and durable automation patterns honed from roles at Docker, Invitae, and Marin Software. An avid dogfooder, Brett prefers solving problems by running production workloads on the platforms he builds, ensuring tools work for engineers as well as customers.
