Nuno Coracao

Principal Product Manager, Docker

Nuno is a Principal Product Manager at Docker, where he leads the AI agents teams – including Gordon, Docker’s developer-facing AI agent, and the open-source foundations underneath it: Docker agent, a CLI and runtime for orchestrating AI agents; the MCP Catalog; and the MCP Gateway. He brings over a decade of product management experience spanning developer tooling, AI, telecom, and media, with past work ranging from large-scale video platforms and eSIM systems to infrastructure now used daily by millions of developers. Outside of Docker, he builds and maintains open-source projects – including [Blowfish](https://blowfish.page), a widely adopted Hugo theme, and [Watchfire](https://watchfire.io), a context layer for AI coding agents – advises early-stage startups on product strategy, and mentors PMs. He writes regularly at [n9o.xyz](https://n9o.xyz), where he explores AI, developer experience, and the craft of building software.
