Douglas Maciver is a Chief Trust Officer and veteran security engineer with decades of hands-on experience securing devices, operating systems, and cloud services—most recently driving Azure confidential computing and founding Open Confidential LLC. He led large international red teams and engineering organizations at Microsoft, protecting millions of users through work on BitLocker, TPM-based Secure Boot, and Xbox One security while managing multi-million dollar programs. Equally comfortable as an individual contributor and manager, he holds five security patents and a track record in vulnerability research, threat modeling, and secure enclave-based confidential ledgers. A practiced programmer in C/C++ and Python, Douglas combined a circumnavigation of the Pacific Rim with independent study in quantum computing and practical open-source contributions to confidential computing. Based in Port Townsend, WA, he brings rare cross-layer expertise from silicon and firmware to cloud and services, and a creative curiosity that blends technical rigor with poetic and exploratory pursuits.
