Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Peterson is a Sr. Principal Software Engineer and Lead Architect with over a decade of experience designing and shipping enterprise-grade privileged access management and identity solutions. He led the architecture and technical direction for One Identity Safeguard from its inception to recognition as a Gartner PAM leader, owning security and cross-team design decisions. Deeply versed in security protocols, cryptography, PKI, AD integration and a broad systems stack (C/C++, C#, Python, .NET, Azure, Linux/Windows/Mac), he builds pragmatic systems that enable new business opportunities. His career includes founding a software firm and hands-on product architecture roles at Quest and Dell, where he extended Group Policy to Unix/Mac environments and solved hard identity problems at scale. Notably, he combines low-level protocol experience (Kerberos, LDAP, SSH, RADIUS/TACACS+) with product leadership, making him equally comfortable in code, architecture reviews, and security trade-offs. Based in Missoula, Montana, he brings a mix of entrepreneurial grit and deep platform expertise to R&D leadership.
