Pablo De Guzman is a founder and CTO with 11+ years building cloud-native platforms, currently leading Okteto to simplify Kubernetes-based development workflows. He combines deep hands-on expertise in Docker, Kubernetes and DevOps with a research background (PhD and postdoc) in service orchestration and secure large-scale container deployments. Previously a tech lead at Docker and an early engineer at ElasticBox, he blends product-focused engineering with systems-level thinking across backend, CI/CD and multicloud tooling. An active community builder—organizing the 3,500-member Docker Madrid meetup—and open-source contributor, he also demos full-stack projects like a React+Node KubeCon-ready app that added resilient backend retries and rental workflows. His profile reflects an unusual mix of academic rigor, startup product execution, and grassroots developer advocacy.
