Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Massey is a seasoned program director and network security expert with over a decade leading large-scale cybersecurity and networking initiatives across government, academia, and industry. He has directed high-impact programs for the DoD's 5G to NextG Initiative and now guides advanced cyberinfrastructure investments at NSF, building on prior leadership at USC/ISI and DHS CSD. A prolific researcher with 100+ peer-reviewed publications and IETF standards contributions, he blends deep technical knowledge of BGP, DNS, Zero Trust, and future network architectures with program-level delivery and deployment experience. He has repeatedly moved ideas from lab to operational use—helping produce tools used by CERTs and routing validation systems such as ROVER—and has led efforts in information-centric networking (NDN). Equally comfortable coding front-end UI improvements (e.g., hicetnunc UI work) as shaping national research agendas, he combines hands-on engineering instincts with strategic program stewardship. Based in Longmont, CO, he pairs a Ph.D. from UCLA with a track record of translating academic research into resilient, deployable infrastructure.
