DNX’s Thiago Ramos Named Docker Captain

[Sydney, 2 October 2025] – DNX Solutions, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, is proud to announce that Thiago Ramos, one of our engineers at DNX, has been named as a Docker Captain. This distinction places him among a global network of practitioners recognised for their contributions and expertise, and one of just a handful invited to the Docker Captains Summit in October in Istanbul.

What is the Docker Captains program?

Docker Captains are practitioners recognised for their deep expertise in containers and their contributions to the global tech community – from writing, speaking, and mentoring, to providing feedback directly to Docker’s product teams. This isn’t a one-off badge; Captains maintain their title by continuing to contribute, ensuring their knowledge stays current and valuable.

What it means for DNX customers

For DNX clients, Thiago’s recognition reinforces our commitment to technical excellence and highlights the calibre of talent within DNX’s modernisation practice. Having a Docker Captain on our team translates directly into client value:

• Accelerated Outcomes: Best practices are embedded directly into every project, leading to faster, more efficient deployments.
• Enhanced Security: Deep expertise in container security helps build more resilient and secure platforms from the ground up.
• Future-Proof Architecture: Projects are aligned with the latest industry standards and compliance requirements, reducing risk and ensuring scalability.

This expertise is critical in today’s enterprise landscape. Docker is a foundational technology for modernisation, with adoption being particularly strong at scale: 47 % of organisations with more than 1,000 hosts run Docker in production, compared with 19% of smaller environments. And even when teams use other platforms, they still rely on standards pioneered by Docker, such as the Dockerfile syntax. 

Finally, Thiago’s recognition also reflects the strength of DNX’s people. By attracting and developing top talent who want to learn from peers recognised in the global community, we ensure clients benefit from a team that is not only technically strong but also committed to knowledge-sharing and continuous innovation.

From our Modernisation leaders

As Principal Architects of DNX’s Modernisation practice, Bruno Valenga, Raphael Macedonio and Jeremias Roma share how this recognition translates into client and team value:

Bruno Valenga:

“Thiago’s recognition as a Docker Captain is a clear differentiator for DNX, bringing community-validated best practices straight into our Modernisation work. Our clients get faster and more secure outcomes. Internally, his contributions provide hands-on mentorship that elevates the skills of our entire team across containers, Kubernetes, and DevSecOps.”

Raph Macedonio: 

“Thiago’s recognition as a Docker Captain highlights DNX’s ability to turn deep technical expertise into customer outcomes. Our clients gain modernisation projects that are faster, more secure, and built on trusted best practices—helping them reduce risk today while setting up for future growth.”

Jeremias Roma:

“Congratulations to Thiago on becoming a Docker Captain! This recognition celebrates his expertise and reflects DNX’s culture of innovation and knowledge-sharing. It strengthens client confidence in our modernisation practice while also helping us attract and inspire top talent who want to learn from recognised practitioners.”

Looking ahead

Later this year, Thiago will attend the Docker Captains Summit in Istanbul. He will join 60 other Captains to exchange ideas on the future of containers, Kubernetes, and AI agents, and will share these insights with DNX colleagues and clients. 

This recognition reflects DNX’s commitment to excellence. It reinforces our role as a trusted partner in application modernisation and secure container platforms, and reaffirms our identity: a team that leads by example, shares knowledge, and is relentlessly committed to delivering outcomes that matter.
