Dan Middleton is privileged to explore new technologies for Intel, often in open source. He has contributed to the formation of multiple Linux Foundation projects including Hyperledger, The Confidential Compute Consortium, and The Open Source Security Foundation. Each of these projects has been a new opportunity to explore not just the technical domains of blockchain, cryptography, confidential computing, etc, but also to learn and explore new ways to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in open source. In addition to his open source work, Dan is a leader in Intel's Product Assurance and Security division defining the next generation of security technologies and shares responsibilities for intel's RISE diversity and inclusion program. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/corporate-responsibility/2030-goals.html
