Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Manning is a senior principal solutions architect based in San Jose who helps enterprises adopt AI-native, secure developer workflows—most recently shaping Docker’s platform for hardened images, agentic AI governance, and microVM-isolated Sandboxes. With a decade of focused experience and a career stretching back through product leadership roles that powered IPOs and multi-billion-dollar acquisitions, he blends hands-on engineering with go-to-market and security strategy across DevOps, DevSecOps and MLOps. He’s led hardware and software product life cycles, founded an AI media startup as CTO, and advised numerous ventures, giving him a rare mix of startup grit and enterprise scale. Known for hundreds of webinars and thousands of customer engagements, he translates complex security and AI risks into practical architectures that preserve developer velocity. An often-overlooked strength is his track record in building trust boundaries at scale—designing systems that let AI agents operate freely without exposing hosts—an architectural niche critical for safe AI adoption.
